Hi All,

Due to erratic internet connections out here in the boonies, I will try to update you all when we get to Broome in a couple of days time. Right now we are in Kununurra in WA.Tommorrow we go to Fitzroy crossing, but the weather forecast is not great, with some possible road closures due to the unseasonal rain that they have had here. one highlight today was when we saw Lake Argyle and the Ord dam. part of the Ord River Scheme. Very impressive.Blew a trailer tyre today, so we are off to the tyre shop in the morning. Am starting to get the hang of the camera, so the shots should be getting better.Great bunch of people on this ride, all the support crew are great and I still have the film crew with me which is great,as we get to stop along the way to film video and take some stills.Unfortunately they head home at Broome and do not hook back up until Adelaide,which will be a bit quiet for me although they are threating to leave a camera with me to continue on shooting footage.Every hour of footage that they take, they only use about one minute, so for a 30 minute doco they need about 30 hours of footage.Last night we stayed at the Mataranka Homestead, where they filmed "We of the Never Never " staring Angela Punch Magregor.

Anyway I will talk to later.

Cheers Rick.

  1. All that unexpected rain will make for a great adventure & more stories to tell. Ricky, sorry to hear your friends will be leaving you for a while. I bet it was fun having them along. At least now you can sing out aloud with out all that appause. Glad you are all safe & having a ball. The girls are loving the postcards.
