Day 33 - 5 April 2015 Today is my birthday and I was lucky enough to receive calls from my friends and family. This is everthing that makes the day wonderful. We spent the day again on the cliff tops as we waited for Easter to finish. With a little time on my hands, I...

It is so nice being in the bush – we both seem to sleep so much better here. Today I decided to get up and explore the area on foot. There is so much wildlife along the banks of the creek, including kangaroos, emus, snakes and even a fox. On return to camp, we decided...

Yanga Woolshed Having seen a few woolsheds in our travels we were pleasantly surprised by what we found at the Yanga Woolshed. The shed was built to accommodate 40 shearers and 3000 sheep at one time, and it is easy to see why it was known as the most modern shed of...
