Hard to put across in words what some of these places are like.
Look at Simpsons Gap near Alice Springs.
We were there for a couple of hours and absolutley NOBODY but was there.

We are staying in the Sovereign Hill Camp site right next door.
Wont pan for gold as it's designed to take the gold off you not give it to you

Ed loves that Aussie Gold Hunters program.
I'd rather spend my money doing a road trip.
Sounds wonderful Bob
Will have to meet up when you're back, and see the photos.
Maybe we could meet somewhere... Loomies... (does it rain there)

We are in a place called Torquay at the mo (honest) and it's feezing and pissing down. Bit of a change from not long ago when it was 44c in the outback, (much prefered)
Go to Australia in the summer they said, it will be hot, they said, so we did, and it wasn't...............well here at least it's not.
