Magnificent Australia
Enjoying all your blogs, as you travel through the vastness of Aussie, I must apologies in not mentioning a couple of people that we know very well, one that you may have meet at William Creek is Trevour Wright who I think owns all of William Creek, he originally hailed from Boort, he owns a very large fleet of Aircraft operating scenic flights around outback Australia. Another is Wayne Bramely who worked for us back at Boort, he loads the iron orr onto the trains destined for Port Kembla, if he was at Tom Price when you were there, he could have shown you through the mine. If you eventually arrive at Kununurra we know Michael McConarchy who operates about 18 Helicopters, various other Aircraft including a Cessna Citation, he managed Turrumbury Estate Noth West of Echuca, he knows the Ord River and Irrigation system well, I could get you his Phone Number if you wish. Cheers Muzz

Tip
Hi John and Gloria. What a wonderful trip. We were going to do the Canning Stock Route in June. However our brother who we travel with had an issue with his car. Didn't want to risk going through the desert just in case. Decided to go up to Booraloola, King Ash Bay, Normanton, Karumba then across the Savannah way and up to the tip. Even though it was unplanned we had a great time. Where you have been is definately on the bucket list. Travel safe. Val and Merv.
