Well, G’day.
As you may know, planning is well underway for a wilderness landscape photography trip to the west of Lake Torrens, in September.
Here’s the link for a map of the area, sent to me by the president of the John McDouall Stuart foundation, who has been most helpful as I plan for this next trip […]

Spring time wilderness trip comming up
All being well, the first day of spring, September 1, should see the start of another wilderness landcsape photography trip to the arid region of outback South Australia.

ATV trailer with boxes mounted for a try out.
Two new boxes are nearly finished. Just need some handles and a rope stopper so […]

ATV camp trailer set up for a trial.
Preparations are coming along well for a wilderness travel, camping and photography trip in September.
The ATV engine has been rebuilt. The ATV camping trailer has also been rebuilt to overcome the weaknesses of the previous model.

Strong, highly flexible coupling to allow for very uneven country and trailer […]

The fabrication of parts for rebuilding the ATV camp trailer.
As the time for another outback South Australian photography trip draws near, the urgency of rebuilding the small trailer that carries the camping gear intensifies.
On the previous trip, some of the country proved beyond the endurance of the construction, a crack developing in the draw bar […]

ATV, quad bike, parked in the weird landscape of Lake Eucumbene
G’day there.

However, with the bike motor having just been rebuilt, the urge to give it a […]

Fresh, hot, camp oven bread.
This young fella is getting stuck into a slice of Granddad’s fresh, hot bread, made in the camp oven.
Slathered in butter and Grandma’s home made raspberry jam, it fills the typical gap created by the fun and activity of camping in the bush at Aragunnu Beach.
With assistance from his big sister […]

Camp oven cooking. The camp oven half buried in the coals with the billy beside.
Well,G’day.
There’s nothing like a roast dinner when out camping in the bush. A forequarter lamb chop in the bottom of the camp oven, and half a dozen veggies: potato, sweet potato, carrot, parsnip, pumpkin and onion. Oil coating the oven with […]

Blazing campfire at Yankie’s Creek.
G’day.
It was coming on dark, so I got a small campfire blazing in just the right spot so I could rest my weary legs and aging back on a log with a convenient branch.
This campfire cost me! It was a mistake that someone of my camping and outdoor experience shouldn’t have […]

Yankie’s creek camp.
G’day there.
Out the back of Bemboka, there’s some pretty rough and steep country. These are the hills and mountains adjacent to the escarpment thet seperates the coastal fringe from the high country of the Monaro, on the Great Dividing Range.
At Bemboka, the elevation is about 200 metres above sea level, while the higest […]
