| 70cm of saltwater barramundi |
We spent four great weeks up in North Qld enjoying the
hospitality and companionship of old friends, family, mates, the dogs and
fishing till I had had enough (never! ). Definitely the best Barra fishing I
have ever enjoyed with over 35 Barra landed and a personal best Barra of 70Cm.
Sadly all things must come to an end and it was now time to
head west for home. I knew that Linda would be chaffing at the bit to get home
– so it was “the pedal to the metal” and travelling at the fastest rate we had
ever travelled we were soon at Haslam in SA (west side of Eyre Peninsula).
2,836Km in eight days travelling- it took us six months to
get to North QLD !
We decided to do travel to home via Broken Hill as we had
never been that way before.
The movie at this link is my biggest effort yet using still
camera shots, a few drone shots and a lot of dash-cam footage (something I had
not thought of using before despite it recording every minute the car was
moving).

| They don't mince words out in the bush |
Outback QLD and NSW is a bloody mess with most paddocks
grazed down to dust , almost no stock to be seen (sold or moved) – hopefully
the drought will break soon as its getting pretty desperate out there. I have seen a lot of road kill on our travels
but nothing like what is lying on the side of the road between Charleville and
Bourke – thousands and thousands of roos (red and grey), hundreds of emus and a
smattering of the smarter goats and pigs.

| OH&S gone crazy - a dump point is now a confined space? |
We never saw anything that looked like grass till we reached
Peterborough in SA.
The movie at this link is my biggest effort yet using still

Across the Nullarbor in two days’ time – after watching the
Eagles win!!
