Were lucky enough to be here when the annual "Henley-on Todd" dry river races were on. What a spectacle!
The yearly reunion at the National Road Transport Hall of Fame has happened and 84 veterans of the road transport industry were inducted
We have had to endure 10 weeks of idyllic daytime temperatures between 21o- 30o with such low humidity it's very nice.
Have just taken delivery of the newest member of our family.
World ........Meet Mollie
Since we arrived here on the 14th June I dont believe we have had a day without bushfires (a legacy of the prolific growth of low foliage from last years heavy rains) Mostly started by lightening, black lightening and young idiots
The smoke has been so thick for the last few days that Maureen has had trouble sleeping.
This is because of a large blaze to the west of Alice which is tonight on top of the West Macdonnell range. As the town is in a depression, today it was filled with thick acrid smoke and the hospital has been kept busy with patienrts with breathing difficuilties.
We are about 10 km sou/sou/east from it and the wind is blowing it towards us. Every time the gusts of wind pick up, we can see the flames dance high into the air.
Will set the alarm for 2am to check on it.
