I'd like to thank you for giving us the link to this story.

She sounds like she's a gutsy lady. It's quite a feat.

Hoo roo,

Thank you for the link! Great walk. Nice story.

When I did my first CSR hitch from Billiluna to Wiluna, one of the female Aboriginal elders was really concerned about dingo attacks and tried to disuade me.

It was on my second hitch from Kunawarritji to Billiluna that I had close encounters with dingo's at two different wells. At Well 33 - the dingo was scrawny and shy but came to within 20 metres of me requesting food, which I denied it. I did not want to be associated with food.

My second dingo experience was at Well 36 when two came in for a drink. The female was timid but the male was well fed and confident. We had a turf discussion which was resolved with my catapult sending it a sharp sting to the bum. But it was not over as far as the dingo was concerned. That night it rained. I awoke in my pup tent to the suffocating the smell of wet dog. The next morning I saw that the dingo had marked his territory all around my tent, scoring the sand with his paws and possibly bleep too.

Camels - saw lots of camels. They often walked in close to my tent at night and woke me with their gurgling. The first time I thought it was my stomach ... but the noise was loud and coming from outside my tent. They always took off when they heard me move in my sleeping bag to investigate. During the day I often walked to within fifty metres or so, but they kept the distance, casually keeping an eye on me as they grazed of the bushes. Fortunately I did not come across a male in rut. That would be scary!!!

An awesome job done by Jenna we've just arrived home after a month out in the desert and passed her on the track and donated great cause great effort.
