15 Aug 2010 - Newcastle Waters





Feeling refreshed after our stop....incidentally Pedro counted 21 versions of 'campers' sharing the overnight stop from young people sleeping in 4WD's, pop-tops, campers, 'Wickeds', motorhomes all experiencing this wonderful country. As our next stop was again not that far down the track allowed us to call into the many points of interest along the way. Newcastle Waters is the site of a small historic town and walking through the remaining structures only increases my absolute admiration for the people who explored, stayed and toiled to open the outback all those years ago. This brings me to get on my soapbox and give the 'Dunces Cap' to the people who leave their rubbish behind. Pedro and I picked up a garbage bag full and took it with us. But unfortunately we would have needed a small trailer. To the guilty, please honour those who have gone before us and leave Australia clean for those that come after us.

  1. Hi all,

    Good to see you are all eating well and enjoying yourselves. Maddison has been enjoying your postcards and has been looking at all the photos. Annalese is still frustrated with the broken arm, but otherwise well. Look forward to hearing about your other adventures.

  2. who ever built the soap box--Fay has an "e". Are u telling us that Faye has an opinion and is generally always right and common sense prevail. I bet Max did not build that box--life would not be worth building. No mention of that snake in Pedro's shoe--has he stopped playing games with Faysee. Judy--where are you!!!!!!!!!!! -no blog for days--your passion for wanting to be there is palpable. I luv it. Still enjoying the photos and commentry keep it up
