Had a nice visit at the weekend from Thomas (a
young German fellow and his lovely friend Nicky) - they posted about a month ago on the
Simpson Desert and I told them about the 3 Czeck people who had just crossed E to W. They have been travelling in Aus for 12 months and have only 6 weeks to go. It was Thomas who found the sick fellow and came and found me (bless him). Anyhow they went to Big Red yesterday in their old (but
well-equipped 60 series) but he didn't feel confident enough to tackle
the Desert - last seen heading to the old causeway - I gave them some meat and they were going to tackle the Yabbies - having learned about them in South Australia some time ago.

I know the effect.
I stumbled out of the bush after 7 days in the high county onto the tar to find a wedding party with the bonnet up and blown hose.
I had just fixed a
puncture earlier. My wife says she had never seen me so dirty and wild looking in our 32 years of marriage.
Anyway the wedding party knew we could help as they could see we were prepared and looked resoursfull...waving us down... but took a step back and hesitated as we stepped out of the 4wd.
We certainly looked a fright, standing with these people who were imacculately dressed.
Well we patched them up with gaff tape and refilled them and they headed to the wedding reception without further incident very pleased to have met "us" whoever we were.
Regards
Joe
