Leon,
It would make it pretty hard to get a line in.
Best to you both.
Greg.
P.S. You are not missing much at home, it's cold and wet ATM (21mm rain here yesterday) .
My most memorable moment of the entire relocation from QLD to WA with the wife was this very spot. I have some photos of her SOMEWHERE on an external HDD with her long red hair VERTICAL in the updrafts.
When we relocated back to QLD, we opted to fly - kind of regret it, but 4 days on the road (would have taken longer on the return - no rush this time) with a 1 year old and a cat would not be memorable
Here are a few more pics, nothing fancy but just some of the places and things we did so far.
1 some very wide loads come your way at times, two prime movers pulling this one.
2 A Sunset along the way.
3 A visit to Iron Knob, although everything was closed and deserted
4 Setting up the home made OZ pig for the night.
5 The OZ pig
6 Cocklebiddy
I notice there is not a tree in sight. After a couple of days there your dog must have been fair busting.
I like your 'steam engine'. How much work is involved in setting up and pulling down? I imagine you have a separate storage spot so the soot doesn't get through everything else.
I've written this in green because green is the colour of ....
happy travelling you guys.
while you are looking around, keep your eyes on the ground for any meteorites out there..
1 good one might pay for your trip..

Nice pics Leon, reminds me of growing up in the bush in outback NT. I want to return for a long road trip similar to yourself however my wife is a city girl and doesn't like the dirt.
Internet access has surprised me as much as it has you.
Although not all the time, we have had service of a pretty high nature I might add. and that was just camped in free camps along the highway, in the middle of the Nullabour, beats me, but where happy with it.
God I hope you've got a big scope in there. Fantastic photos. We head off in July from Brisbane to Adelaide to Darwin then home. 5 weeks. Should be great. Not retired yet
Yea Mark it is great, we have been very fortunate to experience all these wonderful sights, hope you too enjoy your trip, 5 weeks is not that long to cover all those kilometers though.

I'd say on the contrary - that would have been memorable, albeit not enjoyable.
Hey David. A woman many years ago was driving on the Plain. One small tree was in sight. No other trees any where to be seen.
You may have guessed where this was leading: Yes she drove the car straight into it. Taking out maybe the only tree that grew on the Plain.
Obviously well focused. She was not an astronomer.
