G’day,
It’s another Pleasant Sunday Afternoon(PSA) here. How is it where you are?
Last week I put up a few photos of some bird life at Dalhousie Springs on the western edge of the Simpson Desert.
Bill Arnold, another pharmacist sent some pics he said I could use of his crossing in 2005.

We went through East West in 2005.
A magic place. Showers and dunnies. And birdlife.
We stopped for a cuppa the day before at a spring with millions of finches.
Camel tracks, no camels.
Aren’t you a bit lost ? Didn’t think your mob were in this area.
My pictures were from the archives. When I went through there where no facilities or wire barriers. Only wildlife. I think it was 2003.
And whilst I am never lost I have been geographically misplaced for various lengths of time which adds to the enjoyment of a trip! Well I never use a GPS. It’s all ready reckoning. However I might get one for here. Some of the elders can direct me cross country over sandunes to land directly on a waterhole miles away that they have not visited for ten years. It is amazing.
As my PSA posts continue I hope to have pictures and stories from all over rural and remote Australia.
Now to the Pictures.
