As mentioned in my last post, Macro Photography is my passion. The bees have been more active lately and they always make for good, if challenging, macro subjects. They are tiny, 10 – 12 mm, infuriatingly fast, and most shots seem to be of their bums. A couple of weeks ago, while shooting the …
Sunsets Galore When we first arrived here, we were greeted with a beautiful sunset, and I guess I expected that the next sunset, and the ones after that, would be much the same, barring a cloud or two. How wrong could I have been? I had this great idea to take a series of …
They did let us back into The Hill (that’s what us locals call Broken Hill) for my Pfizer jab, and back out again (re previous post). We even braved the supermarket again to pick up a couple of things, and there was hardly a soul in sight; it was the complete opposite from our …
Ok, I mentioned the birds here at Gundabooka a couple of times, but apart from the Emus, I haven’t shown you any. Well, I spent many, many hours stalking these tiny, little, flighty, annoyingly fast birds who would appear in a flash, only to disappear as soon as I lifted my camera to my …
Gundabooka is a remote park south-west of Bourke, the first National Park on ‘The Darling River Run’. Driving on dirt roads is not always smooth but we enjoyed it. We took our time and enjoyed the scenery, avoided wildlife and missed most of the washouts and rough patches of road, but it was impossible …
Peter has had a bit of a craving for scones for a while now, so I thought, why not try them in the camp oven. Never done it before, but we’ll give it a go. If they work out, all well and good, if they don’t…well, we could both do with losing a bit …

Picture this. You’re pottering around the camp, cleaning up after breakfast when you look up and right there in front of you, not more than ten metres away, is an Emu. How cool is that? When we first saw it, we froze, not wanting to startle it, then slowly, ever so slowly I reached …

After leaving the Warrumbungle’s, we stayed a couple of nights in a little town called Gulargambone. Cute name, right? Gulargambone is a very small town, just under four-hundred residents, on the banks of the Castlereagh River. It was a lovely little caravan park, and as you can imaging we made good use of it’s …
So, we had a week to kill before our booking at the Warrumbungle National Park, and Peter left the planning up to me. He said, and I quote, “You just tell me where to go, and I’ll follow your directions”. This was my first solo trip planning and I wanted to make it count. …
We had four nights at the John Oxley caravan park in Coonabarabran, a lovely country town in Central NSW, and a very nice caravan park. While there, we took advantage of the water and power, caught up with the washing and enjoyed some long hot showers. The weather was mostly overcast and rainy, but …
