G'day Trawe,
Spoke to one of my intended travellers the other day, and he's good for the first week of July, après The Bash. His wife isn't coming, and then my bride said she might have to work too, so the ladies are becoming scarce. Will be able to travel much lighter if that's the case!
Doing east-west across the Simpson, then west-east over the Madigan. Think I remember the swamp that stopped you Trawe. It was damp in
places but otherwise covered in
Thomson River Lucerne, or Verbine. Looked glorious, and the resident bovines would have been very content.
Old
Andado........a step back in time! You almost expect Molly to walk through the door, to knock up a batch of scones.
Better give me some contact details for later reports,
Triton Man,
Did the return to
Birdsville a little different to you, after 12 days in the desert. Hit the wash down bay, after getting pies. Once worst of the mud was off, back to 'van park, booked in, set up the
camp & had the usual long
Birdsville shower. Then, mid arvo, strolled over to the
bakery where we bought half dozen donuts and a
quandong tart. On the return walk, 4 of the donuts had gone before we'd walked 100 metres!
Dinner at the Pub that night with our companions, and into bed in a hurry, it was cold 'n windy. Up early, packed
camp in the dark, and arrived at
bakery for hot drinks and toasties. Pies might be their forte, but the toasties were highly disappointing, lacking fill and flavour. Stopped at the Cuttaburra for smoko and the instant coffee and remains of the donuts and
quandong tart made up for our ordinary brekkie.
Well! That's a bit long winded, eh?
Regards to you both,
Bob
