G'day Mick,

I think that the CSR is under rated in regards to the history and stories that
this part of our land holds.
Tobin's grave is something that sticks in my mind, as do the other
graves we viewed and the never ending stories that this part of our
land holds.

I could go back tomorrow, spend more time, and still be enriched with
all the desert offers.

We are privileged to be able to visit areas such as this.

Cheers

It's funny Michael, we call them "lonely" graves and indeed they are and yet Mr Tobin gets a hell of a lot more visitors than you and I will when we leave this mortal coil. To think that as late as the 1980's western desert aboriginals still lived a traditional lifestyle out this way. Some amazing stories and some amazing country.Durba Spring and the Calverts still remain one of my favourite places in Australia. Cheers Mick.
