It is possibly a bit pretentious as I have only been blogging since August. And regularly blogging since mid December with only 71 posts. But everyone else has been doing it.
Consider it showing my newer subscribers some earlier “quality” posts.
So my ten most popular posts are:
1. “A Drive in The Country: It took this truck driver and his truck 18 hours. Bogged three times in sand. That’s a lot of wheels to dig out. And some pretty big holes. I guess that is something to look forward to as I drive out next week”.
2. When Remote Australia and Mining Australia meet: This surprised me coming so high in the ranking. My view on how mining companies in Australia seem to disregard and damage the remote communities near their sites.
3. A Little Bit of Rain: With plenty of photos and video it showed what Central Australia can be like after rain.
4. Remote Weather Report was a report I sent out to people who may be travelling in our area which I later posted. Describes what can happen when heavy rain hits – particularly for a very mobile population
5. Can Bush Tucker Reduce the Burden of Heart Disease and Diabetes? Here I commented on an Article in the West Australian Newspaper and talked about food and prices out bush.
6. Kunmarnanya my Lord, Kunmarnanya. I’m known as Robbo almost everywhere I go. I started using my nickname for cultural reasons. This explains why.
7. A Snake in the Hand is Worth…. is a little story about a snake on my fence: I race to the gate and instead of placing my hand on the expected tubular frame it landed on something sinuous, scaly and muscular.
8. Oodnadatta Track is a Pleasant Sunday Afternoon story with a picture of a stop sign in the desert. Believe me. That is all that is there.
9. You Have Peak Hour Traffic and I Have…… was a video looking at the traffic obstacles I have on my way to work. Camels and lots of them.
10. CRANA Opens its Doors where I commented on Council of Remote Area Nurses of Australia opening membership to other professions with some comments on other bodies representing those out bush.
Well that’s it for another year!

You can see how it got it’s name.
The Painted Desert only took 80 million years to create. Those hills are steep, but even standing on the edge of a cliff the slope is deceiving. It is a magnificent place.

The view from a station track as it enters the Oodnadatta Track. This was from a few years ago and you have to wonder why it is there. These days, with the track usually in great condition with many more tourists travelling it in the nice (i.e:cooler) seasons the stop sign is now accompanied by a gate and fence to stop vehicles entering the track.

G’day
I haven’t been on for a few days. I come to the big smoke and have my internet connection fail!
This pic is from a few years ago. I broke a couple of leaves on my trailer suspension which left the axle banging into the frame of the trailer.
With an old tyre and hi-lift jack to bend and hold the tyre in shape I tied it with wire and fitted it above the axle. I then wired it in place and it lasted 500km until I replaced them with an old Holden leaf springs which lasted another 2000km until I could get the trailer resprung.
