Across the Plains

21 July 2010

Early departure from Kynuna after being treated to a magnificent sunrise over the plains, because we had decided to stop off at McKinlay for a hearty breakfast.

Met a few truckies there that were carting lead and zinc from Cannington to Yurbi in Cannington Icons (Innovative Combination of the North).

Next we headed north along the Gidyea Bug Byway to look at Malvie Downs where John grew up.





Then on to the Flinders highway where we had to move right off the road for this to pass!!!!!!!!!



Stop off in The Curry to catch up with David Monaghan and lunch by the river then to Brightlands for the night

  2. The calf was lying at the end of a clay pan on Malvie and John and Bill thought it was bogged so they decided to try and move it. On investigation they found it wasn't so they ended up leaving it where it could access the water

  4. Looks like the trip's going well ... wish we were out there again! Ah well, Europe beckons in about 4 weeks ...

    We got stuck behind something like that monster when we were headed south on the Stuart Highway ... that's where being able to call up on Ch40 and talk to the driver and the support crew is a real help ...

    Cheers
