Hi Joyce,

Thanks for your answer we r coming with our caravan is it Ok for mid June ?

Hi,

We r planning to get to the area by Mid June 2016 , how do we perform the booking ?

Hi Joyce.

no probs on roads in..i wouldnt try to come through from towera road ..

i remember that crossing being bottomless,and haveing trouble getting bikes across,,even the little susuki 4x4s had trouble..they did float so could swim a little if it wasnt running fast and too deep..

hope to get up soon..

yours Col

hi Joyce.

I could just imagine the look on Gypsys face dawdeling along behind a mob..What the heck is the ol boy thinkin and how are we gonna get these big buggas on a hook.??lol (shes supposed to totaly ignore sheep and cows etc..)

i remember there being a LOT of space up there,so haveing a plane is realy the best option..and yeah i agree with Darryl about horses..i call em turners.They turn good feed into ,,,,,

we had a couple bikes and two little suzuki jeeps.

There was supposed to be 16500 sheep..we managed to find just over 5000.some with 3-4 yrs wool on them.the place had been let go a bit..lotta work to keep a young fella out of trouble..

we had a few yanks stop over at muster,and that was fun playing with them..I had 2 girls,with matchbox of cotton wool incubating mountain devil eggs..(double gs) lasted a week before they caught on.hahaha they realy didnt like the frogs in the dunny though..

i hope things work out for you when your moveing on..

i remember the road in being a bit tricky in spots..my ute will be no probs but my bro and sister in law have a 27 ft 5th wheeler.would that be asking a bit much to get it in?(he could get bogged on the bitumen i rekon hahaha)theyre traveling up and down a bit now and maybe pull in for a few days.(he worked Gordon Downs up near kunnanurra as a youngun)

i shoot at karatha then meeka around the end of july..Depending on how time is going..would we need to book or just drop in?

yours Col

Hi Joyce

The timeings not good for me mustering this season,but i could plan it in for next year..

a couple of weeks about May should be easy enough to manage,around going away for rifle competition shoots.

Id have to leave my girl home,as shes not realy suited to stock work.Shes my tracking/finding dog for when im culling roos on tags,,and to keep undesireables out of my back yard..a neccesity down here..

do you use horses or bikes for muster?? i can ride but havn't a lot and not for a long time..i much prefer bikes, but of course i ride a lot slower these days..(old bones dont heal so quick.)

ive not worked cattle ,but i found a gentle hand and abundant patience seems to pay of with most critters,,

it'd be good to get away and get some real bush peacefulness again,,and renewing old memories are always welcome..

i shouldnt get lost(too much ).i can still handle a map and compass and read the sky...
