That area around the creek in the middle. We saw a white truck up near the shack, A Canter or similar. Think it had been driven in recently ........... somehow!!! Around there there was what looked...
We went south to north, same as you. (Not that I think it would be any easier whichever direction it is taken in). Thankfully no ruts that I recall on your 'near disaster' section. It was 1st low &...
Yep we did & we got through, albeit with a bit of damage. No way would I attempt that again though, not towing. I might solo, but MrsTea is very clear that it wouldn’t be with her in the car! I well...
This probably should go in another thread ........... but it did make me very happy today.
A naked birder story.
They have been teasing me incessantly, morning & evening, every day for months....
Our car had begun making a constant howling/squealing noise from the wheels. Driving in it alone I thought it was from the front passenger side & it seemed to be getting worse. I convinced myself...
More proud than happy.
MrsTea & I have been married 40 years today.
She was my second choice at the dance when her friend with the big bum & squeaky voice turned me down!
Welcome back to the real world! :)
Once again we are pinching ourselve at our good fortune. Each time a desirable opportunity arises to have a more 'in-depth experience' that cannot be had by travelling alone, it serves to confirm the...
You are the 2nd person who I have seen posting pics of Bunya nuts, the others hadn't eaten any when they posted so were unsure what they were like. Do you know? Are they an 'oily' nut like say...
Had a lever action, 9 magazine Ruger .22 magnum for many years. Sold it when we left Callignee South. Was a lovely little gun. Only thing was that the magnum shells made a loud bang & alerted all the...
A couple of days ago we gave 'Fletch' a lift. Today the boat he dives from was passing. It moored up well off the coast & a couple of young fellas came ashore in one of the aluminium dories. First we...
Confirmed today.
We have been invited back up to Portland Roads, just north of Chilli Beach, Cape York for a return house sitting & 'postie' gig, except this time, instead of 5 weeks it'll be for 8...
Regular rain late arvo every day commenced in parched Mutchilba 4 days ago. Heaviest fall last night - 63mm. Almost 200mm over 4 days. Creeks that have been dry since we arrived here last March have...
The monsoon is upon us! :)
Good luck with that Bidja. Had similar in the past, but it was a hay barn mine took out. Needed a 4wd cherry picker to cut it out. At least I had no solar battery set up to worry about.
Yeah, I guess it's all part of the adventure! :) Just back from 3 nights camped down on the Emu Creek. Was great to get back into the Tvan again.Believe it or not we hadn't used it since end of last...
Going camping today. :) First time back in the Tvan since last September! Woohoo! Planning to find somewhere for a couple of days in the Emu Creek/Irvinebank area.
There's some history there! He bought a part share in the island, not freehold, a 50 something year lease. Cost was 1.2 million, but his share was a 'small' share. The other person who has the...
It's not just Roothy who gets the good gigs! A couple of days ago we met Dave, a real life 'Robinson Crusoe' who has lived alone on a deserted island for the past 20 something years. He came into...
Have something similar at home, shop bought though. Works ok with a bag attached underneath, but was problematic used over the top of a dug hole unless very careful. Had a couple of 'moments' where...
Best wishes from me too Bob, it's an achievement I hope to emulate some day, although I'm in no rush to get there.
Mc4by The Dampier Peninsula 'gig' was via friends of friends/direct contact but the others have been via an online house sitting web site. There are a number of such sites but the one we joined is...
It's alright Jack it's not all a bed of roses - first thing the owner did was to bring us an industrial quantity of mozzie coils & then there were the bats flying past at close quarters though the...
Flew into Lockhart River (Cape York) yesterday. Our home at Portland Roads (5kms past the turn off to Chilli Beach) for the next 5 weeks, with use of a 2016 dual cab Hilux for the duration. Other...
