Off to the Desert Again

 Early July Ma ma & Pa left Relle, La & Leyla back at the farm to take our almost annual trek to the Canning Stock Route. This time we took 3 other families (Krause, Pietsch & Wagenknecht's) with us to help us repair the top timbers of Well 49. The company was great, the countryside lush and green and we had many laughs. All the things that make for a great holiday!!


Pa's newer  Landcruiser all packed & ready to go

 While having lunch a few kms from Billiluna, we came across Pat who had walked the entire Canning Stock Route. What an interesting lady. She would have walked into Billiluna at about 3 pm to finish her amazing walk. Well Done Pat & congratulations on such an adventure!

 Well 49 as it was before the fellas started on replacing the timbers

 Some of them were working while the others were doing what they do best..........

 Whenever possible out came the ball for a game of volley ball. Creek beds worked a treat.

 Ormiston Gorge

 Spectacular Palm Valley

 One of our camps in the Finke Gorge National Park

 Beautiful Boggy Hole in the Finke Nat Park

 Oops! Pa got himself in to a bit of a pickle. Truck bogged with a good lean and trailer going in the opposite direction

On the last night of our holiday Pa had a couple of fire crackers to let off to celebrate a wonderful holiday.Thanks to the other families for a wonderful holiday.
