Week 6 is up and running and we are now home. Cold, wet, windy. Ready to go again. Have had a ball but next time the dog comes with us. Hope readers have enjoyed our blog and have been a help to someone. Some days are a bit scratchy and you probably forget to put something in that doesn't seem relevant but doesn't matter. Everyone should (if they can) just go and have a look at this beautiful country.
We have met some great people and missed meeting some of the EO members but there will always be another time. Oh well back to reality. Go back to work Monday (and the girls have said I'm barred from taking any more leave for 2 years) and Hayd (the lucky bugger) starts night shift Monday night.

Hayd and Jude.

Have enjoyed reading all of your blogs. It takes me back to our first trip in 1993 when we took in the Kimberley area and the Centre. You are right, everyone who can should explore this beautiful country of ours.

What a pity you didn't have time to do the not so long walk to Cathedral Gorge in the Bungle Bungles or explore the Spring Mounds, just to the south of Coward Springs, if my memory serves me correctly.

We spent 3 days at Coward Springs campground. We had the place to ourselves, just the two of us, except for a tour group that stayed one night. It was absolutely delightful.

Nothing like getting away to an isolated spot on your own to chill out. But they are getting harder to find!

Sorry about you heading back to work. I have just finished 5 years of night duty so have an idea how you must feel about starting back to work on night duty. We are at the end of our first week of a 13 week road trip and looking forward to the next 12 weeks. Currently we are in Kununurra and heading up the Gibb in a few days. We have met some very nice fellow travelers. Have not yet run into any ExplorOz members.
