Western Deserts 2006

Hi Theo

I am finally getting to some of the places I have dreamt of going to over the years. Every now and then you hear of this place or that place which gets your interest up and then it takes a lot of planning to do the trek.

Regards

Yeah Moose

I was cold all the way to Newman....lol

Actually I very seldom seem to strike rain when out in the never never. When I lived up in Darwin however our trips were frequently flooded out and I remember sleeping on a camp stretcher in a tent with water running through the tent.

Luckily it all dries out again once the sun comes out :-)

Cheers

I found old Rosie in Bundaberg and had her 6 years and clocked an extra 200,000km on to her. Rosie had a 5 speed gearbox. When she came to the end of her use with me(550,000km) I gave her to Stony so that he could use her for station duties.

The manager at Warraweena is Stony Steiner and he is of Swiss origin.

Apart from my UHF radio and CDMA phone I have a HF Radio, and a Satphone as well. If you click on my Rig Pic you should see the list of stuff I cart around.

G'day Equinox

I could not get down right into the third chamber because of mobility problems but another younger member of our party did and reported that there was dampness there but no water as such.

Our dog(one very spoilt Princess), a Blue heeler crossed with many others, sits on the left hand rear passenger seat where she usually tears up what ever material she can sink her teeth into. I covew4r the seats with a strong plastic cover. Other than that she hangs her head out of the window and bites at passing foliage. On the highway she goes mental at passing B doubles and Road trains, especially red ones. We sleep in a tent and Jeddah sleeps in the truck. She extremely protective of her truck and camp site for that matter. She doesnt smell too badly and only farts occasionally...lol

We tend to give National Parks a miss but on occasions I have had to sneak through them with dog in the back and have escaped being caught so far. In WA and NSW(and probably other states as well) there are thousasnds of 1080 baits laid everywhere and one has to be extremely careful taking a dog with you.

Cheers
