Holidays

So much on... Who would have thought there were so many things to do in the desert?? Needless to say I got my party fix! The local teachers went off for the holidays and Leanne's house became party central!!

It also helped that I had some Sydney folks to help get the party going! Mum and Dad were up for the holidays, Jay also came up... We had an awesome time on the Argyle/Ord River cruise... (below)

A fantastic Cruise, you have no idea the amount of water that passes through this place!! Let's say NO water restrictions... and 90% of the Millions of litres that pass through this place goes to the ocean. Amazing.


From there, invited the helicopter pilots (Stu and Sam) to dinner, a great night. Stef from Mirilinki came too... Forming a little social group... That party ended in the wee hours of the morn with one of the pilots on the couch... He also managed us a free flight over the Bungles the next day.


Next morning got breath tested by Karl the local cop at the bottom of my driveway, and left with an invitation for dinner and a tour of the Diamond Mine in the evening. We got to drool over the In affordable diamonds for a while. A good night on Rio Tinto.


The following day we drove into the Bungles, again, amazing... Quite a rough 4WD as well... 3 hours for only 50km!

Jay left... Mum and Dad hung around for a few more days... A fishing trip to Bow River...

The only sizable thing we managed to catch was a little freshie!

And a swim with Dad as the local novelty!
