Willem
Going up to the
Flinders Ranges in the morning for some RnR and to do a bit of mapping. Will be away until the end of the week or later.
Tell you what, after receiving all the bills(rates,phone,electricity,
water,emergency
services levy, etc etc) I am leaning towards going back on the road permanently. Trouble is SWMBO doesn't see eye to eye on this one. Maybe I will have to go it alone...lol
Cheers

Hi Rick
Hells
Gate is on Deep
Well Station and it was a pass built in the late 1800's to move cattle and camels trains through. Photo taken 1993.

Pesty & Willie,
I reckon Deep
Well is owned by the Hayes family (as in Ooraminna
homestead &
Bush camp, Undoolya etc).
Here's a radio interview link which describes some of the issues they currently face there.
Site Link
I am informed that Kurt Johanssen's book/life story is very interetsing. Have you read it?
Cheers

It is a good read.

Yeah mate. I yearn for the days when I was travelling this great land and when the only bill I had was my Mobile Phone account. Now that SWMBO is getting into local politics the urge to get away from it all is ever so great again...LOL

The real reason that he's heading that way again is so that he can sleep with Rosie again.

Who me start malicious gossip. Me NEVER
I do know that Willem's heart pumps harder when he and Rosie are together. LOL
I can just see him now, sitting in her lap, fiddling with her knobs, embracing her curves, exploring her inner sanctions.
He may never come
home again.

In you dreams
young fella. SWMBO wouldn't let you go nor would you want to.
Now just go back to your kennel and be a good boy. Have a great time up there anyway. CD will be in the post tomorrow.

Hope you will have some good plots to send us when you return, maybe I can get Des and Mrs Des to come for a drive up there with me next year some time.
What areas you heading for Willem, maybe I shouldn't ask only make me even more envious.
Have a great trip
