I just did a quick blog of last week's trip to Alice,
Yuendumu,
Papunya,
Kintore, SBJT, GCR,
Yulara, KC, Camels Hump, Haasts
Bluff, Alice if anyone is interested. Luckily the trip was more interesting than my account of it would suggest. Image Could Not Be Found

Hi Bob, read the blog with a degree of difficulty, there seem to be multiple posts.
Interesting? Yep, interesting to see that area from another's perspective. Been that way a few times now, and I thought
Kintore was the end of the earth until I got further west. I've been lucky enough to visit a few communities and that one seemed to be way up there among the more "interesting" ones.
I'm not really into modern aboriginal art, I tend to look at the socio economic aspects, and have been encouraged by the diversity between communities. Not just in the Territory but also on CY etc....
I noticed the fuel bowser has been decorated since my last visit. Hopefully that wasn't the only improvement there.
Yes. I know it's easy to say that while typing on my puter sipping a cuppa and looking out at the lush vegetation, just minutes from the
Gold Coast :) It's another planet out there, isn't it ?

I am curious about the number of hits on various threads.
One listed as 'orff topic' scores 180, and this one 167. One listed as 'Dispensations' has 611 hits?
Go figure.

And even one called 'Troopy Trip report" 61244 has over 400 hits.
"I am leaving this morning for the shops . Left the driveway at 8.30am . Only seen a couple of 4wds but lots of 2wds ..... "
" I need a new
forum name" 575 hits
I am starting to gain the impression that most subscribers to this
forum a bunch of pretenders rather than genuine travellers.
I'm outa here

Bob,
Apparently Buddy
Franklin (whoever he is) is more interesting than you blog as
well. Even the hunt for some
forum 'mole' is about three times more interesting than your blog.
You do have to wonder..................
Cheers,
Matt.
