Sick of 12 volt compressors

Well I tried a few, but without spending a lot of money, I couldnt find a solution to a good air supply for my rattle gun. So I made one. I dont know if it is all approved, but its a beauty....

country comms

I have read so many comments from 4wd'ers who are dead against any form of comms in the bush, "leave it at home, mate". I reckon they must be weekend warriors. We are trying for a long term trip,...

First blog

Well here I am blogging. I had to look up what a blog actually was, to make sure I was on the right track. And I'm not sure, as I write....

Bowra Station stopover

3 nights, maybe 4 at Bowra, near Cunnamulla. Lots of new (for me) birds, so lots of clicking[gi]1185

packing

Well, packing was "tense" but we are packed!! I went over the station and the boys assisted with getting the brackets in place to keep the tanks secured, thanks for that. Then, the big moment,...

birds around Dalby Qld

Pale headed rosella

I have been trying for ages to get the blues to "behave" and I got a few shots in, and a mates back veranda in Toowoomba. My favourite parrot. We got to Tenterfield today,...

a few dramas

Well its supposed to rain, great. We went to Eulo to meet our friends, only took the truck, as the tow hitch on the van had a 60mm split in it. Another one is being mailed to Cunnamulla,...

Better weather in Cunnamulla

Rains all gone, and we are out exploring. A nice place, we will come back here for sure. There are a lot of rivers and waterholes in the region, probably needs 2 months to have a good look. Emus,...

bird photography on the road

Thanks for the ratings on the last blog, I tried to respond but it seems that things are not working well? I tried to leave a "discussion" but it got lost in space? Deb and I are on the road,...

A dissapointing retreat

Well we tried, but today we tucked our tail between out legs, and followed the bitumen form Hebel back to Dirranbandi, then St George, and Cunnamulla. The rain was 2 nights, and not heavy,...

Cold and wet in Yetman

Still here, and the East coast low has reached here finally. Steady rain all night, seeping in under the annexe. I have been looking ahead for a path to Camerons Corner, Birdsville,...

Another day another photo shoot at Bowra

Deb and I went into Cunnamulla today to get some IT catchup, its all a bit slow out here. Posted to Flickr, checked the business, did some shopping. And a late run down the waterholes[gi]118641,...

Yetman NSW for a few more days

We tried the local pub meals, huge. Recommended. Met a few locals, looks like a Murray cod town, lots of photos, competitions, stuffed heads. And a few of those locals were birds ha ha....

testing, testing

I will try again, se if the photo uploader is working this time... I haven't had a lot of joy with it. Seems it did something, added some stuff to the text?

Yetman, NSW

We are parked up at Yetman. Nice little place. They reckon it may rain, so we are in no hurry. So, for a change, its bird photography...

Flight 370

A very rough landing, galah at Toowoomba comes in. Leaving Tenterfield tomorrow, from here to Camerons corner is the plan, if you can call it that. Frost this morning down by the creek,...

Goondiwindi

Nice little town, it looks successful We had a couple of oil leaks dealt with here, Andersons did a good job Havent explored much but took a short run down the Queensland side of the Macintyre ...

Leaving Yetman

Wont be long now, we WILL leave. We have loved this place so much, met a mate for life, and others drive out, "nothing to do there" You've got to have a hobby on the road,...

Gundi as visited

Well we eventually left Yetman, and made it the whole 60klms over to Goondiwindi a bouncy bit of road, but all good. We met some awesome people over there,...

Yetman, you'd have to love it

Yetman, 26 people, riverside, cheap caravan park, free washing machine And about 60 species of birds Got to love it
