Diamantina River & Cooper Creek

Ian said tonight that he can see the BIG fish out the front (must have x-ray vision in the muddy water) - anyhow, if we survive the heat tonight we'll dash out and set some lines in the a.m. Ian says BIG is 6 pounds. We've just come back from going out towards Big Red - had to go over the sandhills through the middle of the Golf Course and run parallel with the normal road. It's a really nice trip and sitting on the end of one of the sandhills you can see how far the water stretches - we didn't go all the way to Big Red but sat out there watching an extremely large storm (lightning and all) down in the south-east.
What did everyone else do at the weekend - don't tell me you sat around at home and did the washing. Yuk.

Hi Des, see above about the fish. Now about the roads - hmmmmm, not know yet. Supply truck from SA is going to try for 3 weeks. Good bit of water going over the Track at the Pandie Pandie/Clifton Hills boundary. This will be the decider. The way the water is dropping here we should be able to get to the river and racetrack maybe at the weekend. That'll be as far as we can get for another week after that, maybe a bit further.
Road to Boulia still cut also - Marion Downs, between Bedourie and Boulia goes up and down like the proverbial brides nightie - ooops shouldn't say that. Talk soon.

Too hot here for a nightie................Willem

too hot anywhere for a nightie WillieLife ISN'T like a box of chocolates...it's more like a jar of jalapenos.
What you do today, might burn your bum tomorrow."

Does that mean it might be a naughty nightie. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm might have to look into that one but then thinking of Willie wearing a nightie I think I'd rather not.

Bonz Luv the mottoI'd rather have my bum on a beach in Broome
Than be stuck here in this damn room.

Willie, Bonz and Des - your naughty naughty boys - go to your rooms immediately, stand in the corner AND DO NOT PLAY WITH ANYTHING!

yes boys ...do as Ruth saysWow, am I cute! The extra long legs are built-in prevention against ducks disease. Great looks and a real goer. Doesnt waddle along like some.

I'm not standing in a corner with those two, If they wear nighties, there definitely not the kind of people who I associate with.
Besides, Willie and Bonz both drive Nissan's and what does that say about them.
Do you remember the characature of Willie, he's not a pretty sight and as for Bonz, there hasn't been a camera invented yet that won't break after taking a picture of him.
Throw the emu in there, he doesn't do much all day anyway. He will make the other two look attractive.I'd rather have my bum on a beach in Broome

Look here Mr Lexik...you are pushing the limits of this friendship.

Have you looked in the mirror lately? You may be on a par with the emu.

Sorry Auntie Ruth....I will not stand in the same corner as Mr Lexik...he's a nasty man....:-(Willem

What a girl's blouse you turned out to be! Think of al those adventurers of the old days who struggled through this country in the horse and dray with Mum and the 15 kids - all trussed up in their 15 petticoats and having to walk most of the way. (Geez, thank goodness I've got a Toyota with airconditioning - but I feel really inferior during the season because I haven't got a snorkle, only a wireless aerial and UHF aerial, skinny tyres on split rims, no roof rack, oh yes, spare tyre carrier on the back and that's it. A plastic 100 series (without central locking or tinting). Next time - I pay, I say. Ah Mr Mo - you're such a chicken, no, sorry 'mu.

mmmm when Mum and the 15 kids - all trussed up in their 15 petticoats and had to walk most of the way, I'm thinkin of all the emu's that were eaten to give the energy needed which enabled them to do this mean featWow, am I cute!
