A view of pharmacy and health from a very remote pharmacist

As cars break down and can’t be repaired by our Bush Mechanics they are left by the side of the road where they are quickly pulled apart for spares.
Every now and then a bulldozer or grader comes along and pushes them, along with other roadside debri back into the scrub.

We have a guest post today from Wolf Cocklin. Wolf’s the bloke I took the idea from for putting a few of my driving videos up on the web.
This picture is from his 2009 trip along one of Australia’s most famous routes, the Oodnadatta Track. As well as today’s Wreck Of The Week picture Wolf also has a blog post up of this trip at his blog “Insert Clever Title Here” which includes video of the 166km trip condensed into 6 minutes.

Following on from my sunset and thunderstorm pics I posted last night are some short vids of the drive home. Now they aren’t as good as this road trip by Wolf Cocklin (I am waiting for his post on his tech set up).
In the past I have posted vids of peak hour traffic and also driving in wet conditions.
These aren’t very exciting but are intended to show the vast difference compared to driving on highways. I do between 50-60000kms every year, the vast majority on rough outback roads.
These vids were taken with a storm all around, heavy cloud, no moon and of course being in a very remote area there is no ambient light at all from cities or towns. It is very dark. If you watch carefully you may see the occasional lightning strike. One in particular was a little close. But luckily – no camels!

@sandnsurf likes to post sunsets from the country town of Perth and @dmriver puts up a few sunset pictures from his semi-rural location(?!!)
I couldn’t let them get away with putting up their wussy sunsets. Here’s an outback sunset taken this evening in the middle of a thunder and lightning storm with rain approaching on the Warburton-Jameson road..
Some of the pics are a bit grainy as they were taken on my little indestructible camera.
Unfortunately I had to stop taking pictures as the storm bore down on me. It is not until you are in a metal box surrounded by lightning that you realise how many exposed ridges you drive over and how sparse the tall trees really are!
If I have any decent vids of the drive I will put them up in a later post here!
Enjoy.
