Maralinga Mystery Tour 2013

Hi Frank

Thanks for taking the time to reply and look at all those photos.

It was a great trip and I would recommend that if anyone is interested in seeing the area, they should get in contact with Rob up at Maralinga on 08 - 8670 4089

Or on him email:robin.matthews@y7mail.com

I Paul

Thanks for that, it was a trip of a lifetime and to be given permission to travel tracks that no tourists have travelled on was even better.

Looking forward to hearing how your trip went.

Cheers

Hi Allein M

We have driven sections of the Trans Line and the scenery is very interesting.

As you would know, after Ooldea through to west of Rawlinna, it is typical Nullarbor with flat open tree less plains for as far as the eye can see, yet north of the railway line the country does change drastically.


Thanks for the reply.

Hi Off Track

Thanks for that and it sure is unreal country all through that remote far of South Australia that very few people ever get to see.


Cheers

Hi John and Val

Yes we sure did see some unreal country and to see it wall to wall Wilflowers was even better plus the weather was just perfect while we were out there.

It was great to see you come along and even better to meet you face to face, rather than our usual way....over the phone.

Best Regards


Stephen and Fiona

Hi

Things would not have changed much since they were there. Rick and Julie are top people and if you are ever up that way, they would welcome you with open arms.

As you would know, Coondambo is a massive Station that stretches south to the Shores of Lake Gairdner and north to almost Roxby Downs.

The biggest problem that they have now are Dingos. As you may know, they are a very long way inside of the Dog Fence, but the Dingos are now such a concern, Rick was saying that within the next 12 months, they may have to go purely cattle and get rid of their sheep.

Last lambing season in 1 of their lambing paddocks, there were 450 ewes in lamb. Of the 450 + lambs that should have been born, only 1 single lamb was recorded by them, the rest taken by Dingos.



Cheers

Hi Dunc

Thanks for the reply. I am sure that Val will do a Blog and it is always great to read what others write and also photograph.

Hi Ian

Thanks for that.

If you do head that way next, get in contact and Robin will organize for you to do the Emu - Maralinga Road, which is a great drive, with lots to see and best of all, unlike the Anne Beadell.....no corrugations.


Cheers
