Not really very exciting today. We did lots of work, as things went reasonably well. The biggest hastle was finding the wooden pegs that were hammered in to show locations of drill holes. "Supposedly" the cattle had knocked them all over yah right.... Cattle actually knock over pegs on purpose.... then we saw one in action. literally! They also would go through our sample bags looking for food. There isn't a lot to eat in the outback. Then crap in the samples. Nice1st Biggest Highlight today was bringing out Khaki Man! That's me, but wearing nothing back Khaki. Australians pronounce it Car Kee. I thought I was supposed to wear Car Keys ... [true story]
2nd Biggest highlight was one cow really "Manning" up to us, and facing us down. Moo... Mooo ... MOOOOOOO. You had to be there.
Headed home late tonight again, we almost ran over a few kangaroos, we almost hit some cattle, and had some goats run out in front of us. It's KRAZY driving out here!
Continuation Incident from Day 1 - My sunnies disappeared [Sunglasses that is]. They likely fell off during the Changing of the car tire. May go back to Yalgar and try to track them down. Odds of that happening .... 5,000,000 to one. But it does happen. Flashback to "What started out as a 10km race, finished as a 10km smile". [end of week update .... the 5,000,000 won]
Sunsets in the outback are spectacular.... not sure if i'll bother to get up for a sunrise. Not a morning person. But the sunsets last for quite some time, and light up the WHOLE sky.
