I walked to about where I was standing in the last piccie of the previous post while Evie was making a cuppa on the gravel bar and lo and behold, there was my little camera sitting in about a foot of water in about the only place in the creak where sunlight shon through the trees. I picked it up...

The following day, Evie was keen to go back upstream and look for my camera. The water level had dropped 2 - 3 feet and she had a feeling that we might be able to find it. The camera concerned was a little pentax, waterproof point and shoot jobbie and there were over 200 images on it. I held...

G'day Jack and John, Thanks guys, appreciate it. I keep trying to finish this post but seem to get side tracked all the time. :) My mind is now working at geezer warp speed. John, the place we camped is the little town where we had lunch after paddling near Kenilworth. I wish I had known...

Ron, I just found this thread. I have watched your boat building skills steadily improve over the years to now, where I look at the magnificent joinery work in your stripping process and i find myself in awe of you. You have achieved a level of craftmanship most of us can only aspire to. This...

The following morning, we put in at thefirst crossing above the camp, and he had paddled about 300 yards to about here, with the water about 3 feet higher than in this pic, when we lost control and overturned, losing my camera in the process. We were very glad to still be alive, though wet and...

Which we had for dinner that night. :D One week turned into two and then two and a half with the numbers in the park steadily building as school hollidays and Easter approached. We headed for the nearby mountains and to another creek, for a lil four wheel driving and a big storm...

This was the first of many trips up the creek. On the second day, Evie asked if we could stay longer :D which suited me just fine. She was yet to catch her first bass and the creek was looking very fishy to me. The creek is renowned for big Bass and Saratoga...

G'day guys. I haven't posted much here lately. Evie and I have been away on holliday (vacation). Our original plan was a long road trip to North West Queensland's outback country but with the recent floods and ongoing heavy rain up there, many of the places we wanted to go to were still cut...

So many letter writers have explained how this land is made up of immigrants. Maybe we should turn to our history books and point out to people why today's Australian is not willing to accept the new kind of immigrant any longer. Back in 1900 when there was a rush from all areas of Europe to...
