In the library

We left Lightning Ridge and have now made away over the Queensland border heading for Goondawindi. This will be a long hot drive today approximately 5 hours and Glenn has to really concentrate with the driving as there is no fencing on the farms. The stock wander to the roads as do the emus...

Sydney!!!

Sydney is awesome - what a start to the trip! We successfully made it here on Tuesday morning (after 32 hours of travel!), catching up with my family at their hotel by 10am. We spent the day catching up with each other while jaunting out to the Blue Mountains, a national park north of the...

West Coast Mission: Day 15

Karijini National Park is only good if you like that sort of thing. Y'know, like stunning views and refreshing water holes and beautiful waterfalls and the like. We only spent a day here though, we wished we could have stayed longer but we were on a deadline for Karratha. And and and! Guess...

West Coast Mission: Day 14

We wanted a full day in Karijini so we'd decided to spend tonight at a free camp near Tom Price and get an early start on the park the next day. The trouble was we didn't know how to spend today but I'd developed a habit of handing my map book and a highlighter to other travellers who'd been...

Lightning Ridge

We arrived at Lightning Ridge yesterday and have stayed here for two nights. The home of the black opal which we have not actually found apart from the ones under the counters at all the galleries and shops. I thought we may have struck it rich but unfortunately not. There is a pool here and...

West Coast Mission: Day 13

We'd decided to head inland after Exmouth to check out Karijini National Park. It's somewhere around 700km to Tom Price, the nearest town to Karijini so we just did it in two trips and spent tonight at a free camp. I woke up to Becky and Craig hurridly packing and asked what was going on, it...

West Coast Mission: Day 12

When I were but a wee bairn, much longer ago than I'd care to let on (narrows eyes at younger but by no means better looking friends) I liked reading books about dinosaurs and animals and sea creatures and stuff. I remember a particular photo in a book and the paragraph of text next to it. I...

Outback

I didn’t quite finish at Coonabarabran as the Librarian was giving me the wind up. After a lovely break in the State Forest of 2 nights we headed to Coonabarabran. On the way we stopped at Siding Creek Observatory which was the home of the AAT (Anglo Australian Telescope) This is run by ANU...
