Flinders Ranges - Adelaide to Arkaroola
Having spent quite a bit of time in the Northern Flinders ranges in years gone by it was time to muster up the bikes and head north from Adelaide to check out the country side since season breaking rains had recently fallen in the area.<o:p></o:p>
The plan called for a leisurely pace over a week, camping out each night and staying off the tar as much as possible. The crew consisted of the 3. Russell and and I on DR 650s and Paul on his aptly named 250 Kawasaki Sherpa.<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> Day 1 Adelaide to Wirrabra Forest<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> Ready for departure<o:p></o:p> http://imageshack.us/a/img19/8083/picture125j.jpg<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> We took the winding roads through the Adelaide Hills via Lower Hermitage and soon popped out at Gawler before running into our first little problem. The trusty GPS had us heading down one of the many dirt roads north of Gawler when we came to a dead end.. The newly completed 4 lane Northern Expressway had cut a swath through our chosen road. After a bit of a recce we soon found a spot through the fence on one side and to the bemusement of the motorists we undid a portion of a gate on the other side and made good our intended escape route.<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> Where theres will theres a way..<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> http://img192.imageshack.us/img192/9...ture126211.jpg<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> Soon we were passing through green farming land with the occasional creek crossing. <o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/8...ture130611.jpg<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> Then we came to some muddy sections of track that called for some detours <o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> http://img837.imageshack.us/img837/6...ture132811.jpg<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> http://img839.imageshack.us/img839/964/165654851.jpg<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> We stopped for a break at another creek crossing before heading into Laura<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> http://img716.imageshack.us/img716/7560/165655671.jpg<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> Here we encountered our second problem for the day. With space in our kit for a 24 can slab of beer with ice (2 days ration) we found the only cans available at the pub were in 30 packs! Oh well, we found a way to fit them surprisingly!<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> More ice?<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> http://img580.imageshack.us/img580/6530/165656091.jpg<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> From Laura we checked out a few tracks into the area for future reference then moved through to Wirrabra Forest<o:p></o:p> .<o:p></o:p> No sign of Ostrich!<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/1061/1656564101.jpg<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> Nice tracks through the forest<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> http://img706.imageshack.us/img706/6...ure1381411.jpg<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/4021/1656566111.jpg<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> With a stealth campsite already sussed out from a previous trip we soon found our makeshift gate and made our way through.<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> http://img687.imageshack.us/img687/1443/1656570131.jpg<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> We explored a few tracks through the pines<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> http://img818.imageshack.us/img818/5...ure1391511.jpg<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> before Pauls Sherpa got a bit weary from the load and had a lie down<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> http://img543.imageshack.us/img543/5...ure1401611.jpg<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> With enough riding for the day we decided to make camp and settle down with a few beers and listen to the last half of the AFL Grand Final on the radio. What a cracker match as it turned out a draw!<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> Camp night 1<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/315...ure1431911.jpg<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/621...ure1411711.jpg<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> Paul, our resident fire maker, soon had the fire up and going and dinner was the go. We lashed out on the first night with steaks and snags brought from home.<o:p></o:p> http://img814.imageshack.us/img814/7497/1656583181.jpg<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> Lucky for this little bloke we saw him before he got near the fire<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> http://img707.imageshack.us/img707/3295/1656582171.jpg<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> With our beer quota for the day soon gone and a port to wash it down it was into the tents after an enjoyable first day.<o:p></o:p>  |
Day 2 Wirrabra to Moralana<o:p></o:p>
After breaking camp we checked out a few more tracks in the forest before heading north<o:p></o:p> http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/472...ure1502611.jpg<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> At one of the old gates we found the remains of a kangaroo that had become entangled while trying to get through. Not a nice way to go..<o:p></o:p> http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/7442/164648311.jpg<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> Our next stop was at the start of the Bridle Track, a 4x4 track that crosses the range giving great views of the surrounding countryside.<o:p></o:p> http://img651.imageshack.us/img651/8...ure1512711.jpg<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> http://img818.imageshack.us/img818/6...ure1543011.jpg<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> http://img801.imageshack.us/img801/5...ure1553111.jpg<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> Once down on the western side of the range we headed north on dirt before hitting the tar for a nice spin through Horrocks Pass and then refueled at Wilmington. The area was as green as I'd ever seen it and the section to Ouorn via Old Gunyha Rd was most enjoyable.<o:p></o:p> http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/558...ure1563211.jpg<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> Soon we were in Quorn where we picked up a few things at the local store and headed out on the dirt via Arden Vale Road.<o:p></o:p> http://img813.imageshack.us/img813/4...ure1583411.jpg<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> This smooth flowing road passes close by a number of gorges on its way towards Hawker. About 40kms later we came to a road junction and decided to take the less travelled route that followed Calabrinda Creek. While not really sure of its bona fide status we passed several unlocked gates and continued on until we realised it would pass right next to a homestead in the distance. As was to be the case with so many of these dwellings as we ventured further north, it turned out to be abandoned.<o:p></o:p> http://img831.imageshack.us/img831/7...ure1603611.jpg<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> Not long later the track did skirt around a homestead but with a wave we were back out onto the main road. We had intended to have a big pub meal for lunch at Hawker and a smaller dinner that night but although we arrived before the end of lunch there were no meals available. Our back up plan saw us head down the road for burger at the local store and into the melee of tourists who were swarming over the Flinders during the school holidays.<o:p></o:p> That hit the spot!<o:p></o:p> http://img149.imageshack.us/img149/309/1666612241.jpg<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> Next it was off along the Moralana Scenic Drive, a picturesque road that skirts between the surrounding ranges.<o:p></o:p> http://img843.imageshack.us/img843/3...ure1714711.jpg<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> After some searching around we came to a great campsite along the edge of a small flowing creek and set up camp for the night.<o:p></o:p> http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/7...ure1644011.jpg<o:p></o:p>  |
Day 3 Moralana to Artimore<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>
After packing up camp we back tracked on the Moralana Scenic Route and then hit the road again towards Blinman but via the longer dirt loop that passes through Bunyeroo. The road had been pretty badly cut up after recent rains and had hardened to make it rather rough. Soon we came to the Bunyeroo Creek which still had quite a bit of water flowing along the road.<o:p></o:p> http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/513...ure1745011.jpg<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> At the intersection of the Brachina Gorge road we found the road coming in from the west was still closed after flood damage but we were heading east so no dramas.<o:p></o:p> http://img706.imageshack.us/img706/9...ure1795511.jpg<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> After a pleasant detour in and out to Aroona Hut we were soon back on the new bitumen road to Blinman.<o:p></o:p> Aroona Hut<o:p></o:p> http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/998/picture1805611.jpg<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> At Blinman we had intended to stock up on some essentials (ie beer, ice and bbq shapes) but found they had no cold cans, or ice or shapes! They did have an excellent steak sandwich and a nice comfy lounge though..<o:p></o:p> Pauls ability to breath through his ears comes in handy at times<o:p></o:p> http://img716.imageshack.us/img716/2...ure1856111.jpg<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> That leather lounge will never be the same<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/3...ure1866211.jpg<o:p></o:p> So our next stop was 15km up the road to Angorichina Village. This place is great, with friendly service provided by Dave and his wife Caroline. We refueled, got water, beer (bloody 30 pack again!), ice, port and even bbq shapes.<o:p></o:p> http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/913...ure1876311.jpg<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> Then it was on through Parachilna Gorge which had lots of water and even more tourists camped in every crevice of the creek.<o:p></o:p> http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/834...ure1886411.jpg<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> We took the road north from Parachilna Gorge that heads in a loop around to Blinman through Glass Gorge but our plans had us continue on past Moolooloo Station rather than continue the loop. This led us onto the Public Access Route (PAR) that runs through Hannigan Gap and further on past the ruins of Artimore. The track is quite diverse and follows Artimore Creek for a lot of its journey.<o:p></o:p> On the PAR<o:p></o:p> http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/8264/1666651321.jpg<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> Artimore Ruins<o:p></o:p> http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/3...ure1977311.jpg<o:p></o:p> Once at the ruins we tracked down to the creek and despite a brown snake rearing up at Russell as we rode past we soon found a good campsite amongst the native pines but not before Paul had trouble parking the Sherpa<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/4728/1666654331.jpg<o:p></o:p> Artimore campsite<o:p></o:p> http://img149.imageshack.us/img149/82/1666657341.jpg<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> Dinner was late after the big lunch at Blinman with Fried Rice on the menu <o:p></o:p> http://img28.imageshack.us/img28/5099/1666660361.jpg<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> washed down with a port or two!<o:p></o:p> http://imageshack.us/a/img24/3760/1666662.jpg<o:p></o:p> |
Day 4 Artimore to the Gammon Ranges (Idninha Ck)<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>
With camp packed away the PAR was soon completed and the road north to Narrina Station was in great condition having recently been graded after the heavy rains.<o:p></o:p> Having previously visited Narrina Station in 4x4s we reacquainted ourselves with the landowner Alan,having been in touch re permission some weeks prior. Alan told us that he was still having a hard time with the dingo population that has bred up south of the dingo fence. Sheep numbers on Narrina were very low and the adjacent pastoral lease at Mulga View had destocked sheep completely.<o:p></o:p> Catching up with Allan at Narrina<o:p></o:p> http://img822.imageshack.us/img822/4...ure1987411.jpg<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> As we said our goodbyes and took a station track north towards Mulga View and Natawarrina I asked Allan what the track condition was like Yeah.. pretty slow he replied. He was right! No sign of any type of traffic for some time with the track pretty well overgrown after the last big rains. <o:p></o:p> Lots of Sturts Desert Pea about<o:p></o:p> http://imageshack.us/a/img838/4620/picture201tq.jpg <o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> With lots of gutters and creeks crossings we were glad for a break at bore near Pinda Springs.<o:p></o:p> http://img829.imageshack.us/img829/9915/1666675401.jpg<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> Soon we came to the boundary gate for Natawarrina, Australias first Indigenous Protected Area. Previously organised permits from Nepabunna Aboriginal community were required to pass through ($25 a head but better than the 8k fine!).<o:p></o:p> The old homestead and tank have long since been abandoned.<o:p></o:p> http://img121.imageshack.us/img121/8...ure2037911.jpg<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> With a stop for lunch called we found a nice little creek bed and ventured in off the track for several hundred meters. Having just started to munch on some mettwurst (and bbq shapes!) we heard a 4x4 pass by. Soon after it was back and stopped at where our tracks had headed off to the creek. After poking around for a bit we decided to it would be better to let them know we were there. It was the boss Ian Johnson from the Nepabunna community who had no idea we were on the lands (so much for communication). He was very friendly (once he knew we had a permit) just annoyed that he hadnt been told we were around.<o:p></o:p> Lunch in the creek<o:p></o:p> http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/542...ure2048011.jpg<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> After lunch more creek crossings<o:p></o:p> http://img816.imageshack.us/img816/2...ure2068211.jpg<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> and then out onto main road that runs from Copley to Balcanoona at The John Crossing. We headed west on this road past Nepabunna and Iga Warta until taking a track that runs north again past Mt Serle station. This track passes by the deserted homestead at Yankaninna before passing into the Gammon Ranges National Park near the also deserted Yadinna (more recently known as Idninha)<o:p></o:p> Yadinna <o:p></o:p> http://img715.imageshack.us/img715/1014/yadninahut.jpg<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> By now it was quite late in the day so we found a nice campsite on Idninha Creek.<o:p></o:p> http://img816.imageshack.us/img816/6...ure2098511.jpg<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> Dinner on this night was not quite as salubrious with tins and pasta the order of the day<o:p></o:p> http://img816.imageshack.us/img816/5341/1666692451.jpg<o:p></o:p> |
Day 5 <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>
Idninha Creek to Arkaroola<o:p></o:p> We back tracked to Yadinna in the morning as an old track out to Old Illinawortina ruins starts out the back of the buildings. Once up a fairly rocky and rutted slope it was across the hills to the site of the ruin.<o:p></o:p> On the track to Old Illinawortina<o:p></o:p> http://img816.imageshack.us/img816/3057/166669811.jpg<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> http://img843.imageshack.us/img843/9...ure2179311.jpg<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> Old Illinawortina ruin<o:p></o:p> http://img145.imageshack.us/img145/1...ure2189411.jpg<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> The tenacity of those who tried to eke out a living in this rather isolated part of the Flinders is quite remarkable. From the ruin we followed a track that ultimately traced its way along the bed of Illinawortina Creek which still had some water in it.<o:p></o:p> http://img830.imageshack.us/img830/3...ure2209611.jpg<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> The plan was to find a nice campsite in the Gammons and then head on into Arkaroola for a shower and feed that night.<o:p></o:p> So off through the creekbed we headed<o:p></o:p> http://img833.imageshack.us/img833/1747/1676711491.jpg<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> Until we found a pleasant spot near some gums<o:p></o:p> http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/9...re22410011.jpg<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> After setting up camp we then had a somewhat bumpy ride over the creek boulders until we emerged at the old Bolla Bollana smelter which is about 7km from the Arkaroola Village. Having gone bush to choose our camp site the trick would be getting back to camp in the dark after maybe a beer (or 2). Isnt that what a GPS is for?<o:p></o:p> Bolla Bollana Smelter<o:p></o:p> http://imageshack.us/a/img515/6028/picture221v.jpg <o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> Paul and I have been visiting Arkaroola since the late 1970s when we used to burn around on these things (notice the safety gear in vogue then?)<o:p></o:p> http://img829.imageshack.us/img829/5869/1686854221.jpg<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> and we made ourselves famous at the place after a little mishap back in 1985 with Pauls 40 series Landcruiser <o:p></o:p> http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/9025/168685321.jpg<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> Since then we always make a habit of spending some time with the Doug Sprigg when hes around (who has run the place with his sister Marg for many years since the passing of his parents). Its interesting to note that amongst their many achievements the Sprigg family were the first people to make a motorised crossing of the Simpson Desert back in 1962 in a G60 Nissan Patrol when Doug was just a kid.<o:p></o:p> As is often the way, one story leads to another and the beers start sliding down very easily.<o:p></o:p> http://img818.imageshack.us/img818/8...ure2229811.jpg<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> Just dont try this at home (and yes Paul is a diabetic!)<o:p></o:p> http://img826.imageshack.us/img826/4476/1676718521.jpg<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> After a few close calls we eventually made it back to camp in the dark.<o:p></o:p> Back at last! (not sure if Pauls fallen asleep or the insulin has yet to kick in!)<o:p></o:p> http://img36.imageshack.us/img36/6035/1676719531.jpg<o:p></o:p> |
Day 6 Arkaroola to Yunta<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>
Up early and a bit of checking of the bikes before we left was in order<o:p></o:p> http://img818.imageshack.us/img818/5...re22610211.jpg<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> Mmm this looks interesting (bloody night creek crossings)<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> http://img835.imageshack.us/img835/6052/1676717511.jpg<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> When we were in at Arkaroola Village the day before we found the place swarming with people, many of whom were part of the Lightning Ridge Police Bush Safari. Around 150 people in over 50 four wheel drives were taking part and were very keen to fuel up and get out before they hit the road. Luckily for us they were just mustering the troops as we filled up our water and fuel and headed south towards Balcanoona.<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> Fueling up at Arkaroola for the 300km run to Yunta<o:p></o:p> http://img651.imageshack.us/img651/9...re23210811.jpg<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> Once past Balcanoona we turned onto the Yunta road and headed south. Back in the 1980s this road was not much more than a graded sandy track but today with mining in the area is a highway!<o:p></o:p> Just watch those road trains!<o:p></o:p> http://img818.imageshack.us/img818/7...re23411011.jpg<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> Its pretty flat and uninteresting for the most part, although we did find a small creek to take a break in.<o:p></o:p> http://img149.imageshack.us/img149/6...re23511111.jpg<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> The only real bit of excitement was passing the road gang with a bit of fishtail through the recently watered section of roadworks.<o:p></o:p> Then it was on past yet more ruins, (this time the remains of the Waukaringa Mine and Waukaringa Hotel about 34km out from Yunta)<o:p></o:p> http://img46.imageshack.us/img46/186...re23711311.jpg<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> Before we arrived at Yunta where we fuelled up and then checked out the pub to wash away a little dust. <o:p></o:p> http://img36.imageshack.us/img36/327...re23911511.jpg<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> The place was devoid of any customers but the publican assured us that theyd put on a feed for us that night. So after stocking up the esky we headed out to find a suitable campsite before coming back in for a meal at the pub that night. The only real camping option was in Yunta Creek, and after a bit of searching we came upon a pretty good spot to set up.<o:p></o:p> http://img840.imageshack.us/img840/9...re24111711.jpg<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> The Sherpa had its late afternoon nap once more<o:p></o:p> http://img826.imageshack.us/img826/8...re24011611.jpg<o:p></o:p> Once camp was setup it was an easy drive back to town that night and the meal at the Yunta pub was worth the wait. <o:p></o:p> |
Top report, seems everyone was up there over the last few weeks.....We were at the Parachina pub during the AFL GF (draw)
Was on the lookout for snakes along the PAR as we had a Brown cross the road at Blinman on Friday, we did the PAR Sat am & Sub am.. |
A damn good read, loved the photos. Tx for posting.
Day 7<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>
Yunta to Cadell<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> Another nice day saw us set off in the morning towards Morgan. The road through to Lilydale Station was in pretty good condition before we turned south towards Sturt Vale Station. <o:p></o:p> There seems to be awfully good signs out here for not much traffic!<o:p></o:p> http://img705.imageshack.us/img705/9...re24612211.jpg<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> Once past Sturt Vale we took the road towards Pine Valley Station which had recently been graded and then picked up the Morgan Mail Road and headed south to Morgan. The Mail road was a little sandy in places but by lunchtime we pulled into town with an important decision to be made which pub for lunch? (theyre across the road from each other!). In the end we settled for the Commercial Hotel <o:p></o:p> http://img814.imageshack.us/img814/1900/1676756631.jpg<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> and a great feed it turned out to be!<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> http://img718.imageshack.us/img718/5153/1676755621.jpg<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> We had organised to stay the night on a property that included great river frontage camps not far out of Cadell. So after loading up with a bit of ice to keep our supplies cold we hit the bitumen for the quick 16km run down the Renmark Road to our destination.<o:p></o:p> After a chat with the owner it was down to our campsite with the hope of a dip in the river to cool off and freshen up. As we dismounted the bikes I noticed a swarm of what looked like flies buzzing around Pauls head. It was not until I took off my helmet that I realized what they were <o:p></o:p> http://img407.imageshack.us/img407/5...ito651477p.jpg<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> Oh no.. Houston we have a problem. Now Ive suffered through many camps with mozzies before but this was unbelievable. It was 3 oclock in the afternoon and these things were looking to eat us alive, so after much consternation we decided to move away from the water and seek a camp on higher ground. For kilometre after kilometer we rode, stopping every now and again to check the density of mozzies. If more than 10 had landed on our head with a few minutes we moved on. Finally, at the extreme edge of the property we found an area that seemed to be bearable and set up camp.<o:p></o:p> We quickly lit a fire to try and smoke them away but as dusk fell there were 2 schools of thought on how to survive. My, cover up at all costs method<o:p></o:p> http://img63.imageshack.us/img63/610...re25413011.jpg<o:p></o:p> or Pauls spray until you cant breathe philosophy<o:p></o:p> http://img707.imageshack.us/img707/1...re25613211.jpg<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> Neither was completely successful so we took a raincheck on final night bender and hit the sleeping bags early..<o:p></o:p> |
Day 8<o:p></o:p>
Cadell to Adelaide<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> We were up early and got the camp packed before too many of our insect friends appeared.<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> http://imageshack.us/a/img834/7137/picture261i.jpg <o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> Once on the road again it was back into Morgan to hit the bakery for an early morning pie and bun.<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> http://img842.imageshack.us/img842/8326/1676761131.jpg<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> From Morgan we ran south along the river on the road to Blanchetown and then on to the Swan Reach road before turning off east into the malee country at Morundie. <o:p></o:p> Soon we were past Sedan and over Pine Hut road where the rolling hills were nice and green.<o:p></o:p> http://imageshack.us/a/img89/2549/picture263xxe.jpg <o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> From there it was through the back of Kersbrook and Inglewood <o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> http://img842.imageshack.us/img842/9006/1676779221.jpg<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> before arriving home in time for the Grand Final replay..

Looks like you found some interesting tracks around Gammon Ranges area. Cant understand why you are complaining about the 30 packs though. More beer is better!
And how would Edmund Hillary have ever climbed Everest if his sherpa kept laying down every 5 minutes? |
Magnificent. We must have been just a day or two ahead of you through Nantawarrina and then into the Gammons, though came through from Arkaroola.
You (Russell) sure got some great photos. :thumb |
Good report guys, well done
What a bloody good trip! Thanks for the warning about those mozzies...:clap

A disturbing peek into the next war
Cyberwarfare will be no less deadly than traditional combat.
When we think of war we think about tanks, and bombs, and guns, and all the destruction and havoc they wreak. Death and flames come to mind as well as singular acts of bravery. However, the next war may look much different - how different? So different you might not think it was a war at all.
It's called cyberwarfare and it involves using computers to attack other computers, destroying programs and hardware upon which our modern high-tech infrastructure relies.
With so much of our infrastructure relying on computerized technology, it makes little sense these days to risk a pilot's life to drop a bomb on a target deep in enemy territory. Planes can crash, bombs can miss, and pilots can be killed. However, a computer virus, tailored to attack a specific target, can shut down infrastructure with greater effectiveness than any bomb.
For example, an enemy who can hack into a water treatment plant from halfway around the world, can ensure that the water supply for an entire major city becomes contaminated. Another virus can cripple the power grid, plunging entire countries into permanent darkness. More subtle attacks can cause computer-controlled machines to create defective products, such as the Stuxnet Worm did to Iran's nuclear production facilities in 2010.
Indeed, the age of physical warfare is coming to a close and cyberwarfare is taking over. Already, there is talk among analysts of removing pilots from aircraft and soldiers from the battlefield. Someday, it will all be virtual.
Tragically, this does not mean that any lives will be spared. Turn off electricity and the injured will be without modern treatment. Contaminate water and disease will spread rapidly. Crash the stock market and millions will be suddenly unemployed. Wipe out bank accounts and government welfare rolls, and millions will starve.
To combat this developing trend, the military is spending billions to develop cyberwarfare capabilities. Sophisticated programs are already busy mapping the structure and layout of the internet, creating virtual maps which can be used the same as physical maps in war. Just like in the real world, the internet relies of similar architecture. There are bridges on the superhighway, as well as main roads and back routes.
There are even isolated internets, often called "darknets" which are entirely unplugged from the internet we know. Yet, even these closed, sometimes secret networks are vulnerable to hacking from the outside. All it takes is the crossover of a single USB drive to bridge the gap.
Military officials already have their hands full as cyberattacks become commonplace. The military isn't the only target either. Attacks often strike private corporations as hackers try to steal confidential information and disrupt operations.
In fact, the Department of Defense is beginning to focus on private corporations as a major flaw in the defenses. Most corporations cannot withstand a well-coordinated and sophisticated attack. Even Google experiences vulnerabilities from time to time.
If Google is sometimes vulnerable, then so is every smaller firm out there.
The good news is, the U.S. leads the way in cyberwarfare and has an entire department focused on the effort.
One thing remains certain. Although warfare may soon involve fewer guns and bombs, it will remain a dreadful and destructive waste for all, no matter where and how it is fought.

The point in question, Jo, was whether we start wars. Clearly, in Iraq, we DID. And please, spare me the "he was a monster" line.
You've got your facts completely wrong. AFGHANISTAN was the home of the Taliban and AlQaeda... NOT Iraq. In fact, they were BANNED from Iraq under Saddam, because he wouldn't have his peoples' loyalties divided. Bin Laden had a "kill on sight" order against him if he set foot in Iraq. Let me say this clearly: AlQaeda had NO presence in Iraq until AFTER we invaded, when an organization called "AlQaeda in Iraq" was created following Saddams deposition. They were predominantly Syrians. At NO TIME did AlQaeda EVER reside in Iraq prior to that, and the Taliban have NEVER beein in Iraq.
As to Afghanistan, we went to destroy AlQaeda's presence there, NOT just to kill one man. Bin Laden's death is just, but it's NOT why we went to war at all. Bin Laden was a target, but not the ultimate goal, not ever, not uder any administration.
I think you want to re-think this and try again... everything you stated is quite incorrect, and we ABSOLUTELY started the Iraq war.
There was NO AlQaeda in Iraq prior to the invasion; they were BANNED by Saddam,
Iraq had NO involvement in 9/11.
Bin Laden was NOT welcome in Iraq.
There was NEVER an Iraqi Taliban.
These aren't "opinions." they are matters of historic fact.
Would you like to take another stab at this?

Karl: I agreed with our Holy Father when he told Bush not to go into Iraq. However, I do understand why Bush did. That monster Saddam was killing his own people. Some Americans were killed also. Did you know that? We did NOT start that war. Iraq was the training ground for the Taliban and Al-Qaida. The "messiah" BO said he was going to bring our sons, daughters, "grandsons" home. That's what he promised before he was elected in 2008. Hmmm. We're still there. Also, since Bin Laden is dead, why aren't our men and women coming home from Afghanistan? My grandson did 2 tour of duties in Iraq and 1 in Afghanistan. So don't think I'm not sympathetic to our military. I have a question for you. "If our country was being tyrannized as the Iraqis were, would you not want someone to help free us? Read the story of the "Good Samaritan" in the Bible. America is the "Good Samaritan" of the world. We are always there to help the oppressed, monetarily and militarily. Where's your Christianity? It was the same story for Viet Nam. We did NOT start that war. We were there to help. Same with the "Gulf War." We did not start that either. Kuwait asked for assistance from Bush, Sr. and like a "Good Samaritan", we did. It's true, "War is Hell" but there have been wars sine the beginning of time and there will be more wars until Jesus comes back, at which time, He will fight the "war of all wars." Man has free will and we are sinners. That's what causes wars. God bless.

We didn't "start" a war in the Middle East, Jo. But we bloody well sure started one in Iraq. Are you sure this is a conversation you want to have? It runs pretty counter to your idea.
We sure enough had no business in Viet Nam... unless you can offer some cogent reason we decided to go there.
Let's be REALLY clear. Iraq had NOTHING to do with 9/11
AlQaeda weren't even WELCOME in Saddam's Iraq.
Osama Bin Laden was considered a "rewardable target" in Iraq.
Saddam was only marginally "religious," and his government was completely and ENTIRELY secular. Under Saddam, both a christian and Jewish population got on pretty well. Not until our invasion and the collapse of his regime did they become targets.
Saddam was, indeed, a beast... but NOT one in league with Jihadist terror.
So, go ahead and tell me where I'm wrong on this. I was there. -

KarlVDH: Thank you for your service. As a grandmother of a career military man who has been to Iraq twice and Afghanistan once "so far" (God knows where he will be deployed again) you tell me how we STARTED the war in Viet Nam. You tell me how we STARTED the war in the Middle East. Maybe I'm missing something here but It wasn't our military that flew into the WTC. It wasn't the US that bombed Pearl Harbor. Flying planes into the WTC started this current war, just like Pearl Harbor got us into WWII. Please tell me where I am wrong. God bless.

while industrial houses will be "goaded" to invest.
"Today there is reluctance to invest because they (industry) perceive a number of hurdles to investment. They also don't see the economic situation very propitious or
conducive for investment.
"I think some steps we took in September have broken this wave of fear but some part of it is still there. We have to now get down to the detail, get each PSU, each sector, each business house why are you not investing. Invest. That is the effort," he said.
Chidambaram said no PSU will be allowed to fall short of its announced intention to invest. Performance of the CMDs will be measured on how much did he invest in terms of declared intention to invest.
"And now we are talking to individual business houses and goading them to invest. They are all sitting on piles of cash. We are also asking sectorally what is the hindrance to investment and trying to remove those hindrances or hurdles. But will have to get the investment engine going.
"It has come to life but it is still not running at full speed. Once we get the investment engine going the results will begin to happen next year. Steel, cement will be in demand and that will drawn more investment in small and medium enterprises, ancillary industries which will bring more jobs," he said.
Chidambaram said some industries like automobile and housing have perked up a bit but it was not so in the consumer durable and non-durable sectors.
"So, I hope the engine will start purring and then moving forward. And then I think the investment will pick up. Once investment picks up, I am sure we get back to high growth. It is a difficult year," he said.
Noting that the Council of Ministers and the party- government conclave were fully sensitised to the nature of the challenge, Chidambaram expressed the confidence that he will use the opportunity to sensitise the Opposition as well as Parliament.
"Nothing to be gloomy about. We are still one of the three or four large economies that are growing at a decent rate. But we will

Hear the story from NPR:
The images that appear to show four Marines urinating on the bodies of Taliban fighters could spark an uptick in violence in parts of Afghanistan where U.S. forces have made gains in recent years, officers worry.
The uproar over a video that appears to show four U.S. Marines urinating on the bodies of three dead Taliban fighters in Afghanistan continues, and as we reported yesterday investigators believe they've identified two of the men and are vowing that if they're guilty of what seems to have happened they will be brought to justice.
This morning, NPR's Tom Bowman tells our Newscast desk that Marine officers he has spoken with are "worried about what impact the video will have on their operations" in Afghanistan. Helmand Province, where the incident allegedly occurred, "has seen a decrease in violence over the past year," Tom says, and the officers are concerned about an increase in violence there now because of outrage over the video.
Meanwhile, though a Taliban spokesman, as we also reported Thursday, has said that the video won't affect nascent efforts to start peace talks, on last night's PBS NewsHour foreign affairs columnist David Ignatius of The Washington Post warned that:
"These images will persist. They'll persist, persist on the Internet and in people's minds for a very long time. And they undo so much work that had been done to try to say we are a benign presence."
Also: NPR's Corey Flintoff writes about how "viral images" have become "the military's recurring nightmare."
As we've said before, the video is too graphic for us to post. It is easy to find on the Web, however, including at TMZ.com. [Copyright 2012 National Public Radio]

good vs bad damascus
What is the difference between really cheap damascus (like fox n hound) and really expensive damascus?
Aside from price, how can a person tell what is "good"? |

I couldn't afford to pay what the top makers wanted for damascus so I went to ebay and bought from Alabama Damascus. Not too expensive and seemed good when I used it.

If the knife, it will be the quality of construction and the materials. I've read complaints about fit and finish, glued guards/bolsters/butts and poor heat treat/temper (too soft/too hard) in the FnH and other Pakistani damascus knives. I've also seen these in plenty of the knives from Pakistan (although I have not seen the Mables or FnH knives). I've seen poor rat tail tangs that were more stub than tang with the "tang" seen being an add on and dead soft or too brittle. The patterns of damascus tend to be broad and dark as well and that doesn't bode well for the forging. If you're referring to the steel, the quality of the different steels is an important factor, the quality of lamination/forge welding (flux, temp, care taken, oxygen, time in the forge, ...) and whether there are contaminants, voids, or delamination of the damascus, the surface grind after forging, etc. You look at a lot of these knives and compare them to recognized quality makers and in detail you begin to notice the poor welding of lamination and the presence of voids (small and large). Alabama Forge makes good damascus, good, not great, but they produce a good consistent product that is made of the steels they say are in the layers and the patterns are as shown/advertised. I had a BIG piece that was used in a set and the second blade was in the final stages (rough polish) and a big void popped out. At that point there might have been an option to surface grind and repolish to get past it, but the boys just provided another billet with a second for the trouble and a heartfelt apology. OTOH, it is possible that good pattern welded damascus knives can come out of Pakistan (I've seen a few), but someone has to kiss a lot of frogs before they find a prince making it. I'd rather buy an inexpensive Bear and Sons that I know uses good damascus than something that I couldn't inspect myself with an informed and critical eye. OR you could take a swing and buy blades and finish them yourself from reliable knifemaker supply operations and get a good quality damascus that you can personalize.

I don't know good damascus from bad damascus, and always stayed away from the stuff, thinking it was just tinsel to charge more for a blade. I think I was wrong.
About three years ago, I was gifted a Case Peanut with damascus blades supposed to made by Devon Thomas. The person gifting it to me, knew that I loved Case, and preferred a small jack for edc use. In the past three years I've come to have a feeling that it just may be worth the added price. Now, like I said, I never had a damascus knife, so I had no mile stone to go by. BUt so far I think it's weird stuff. But weird in a good way. If Mr. Thomas is any guide, I now know what you get with a good damascus. It cuts great, but toothy. When I sharpen it, it gets a wicked, grabby kind of edge, and holds it for a very good amount of time. Even when it's lost it's razor edge, and own't shave arm hair anymore or cut news print, it will still go though fibrous materials like rope and twine. If I continue to use it without sharpening, it will still saw through material and still has a toothy feel to the edge. Weird. Having a couple of other Case peanuts to com are it to, one in CV and the other in Case's stainless that they call true sharp, it easily out perfumes both. Down side is, it's weird to resharpen. It seems a bit gummy on the stone, and stropping the burr off seems to take a bit longer. But now that I've had a damascus knife, I'd buy another. I still don't know how to tell the good stuff from the bad, but I guess if you buy Devon Thomas or other known knife smith, it's a fairly safe bet. Besides, I like the raindrop pattern. The other benefit of carrying a pretty pocket knife is, even 'downtown' in Washington D.C., it doesn't get any bad looks or comments. |

That is a very nice Case Peanut Carl, I am jealous.
Its is always interesting to hear people complain about how products should cost less and at the same time complain that they should make more. Its as if they want to make a lot of money but think everyone else should work for nothing. |

I have been looking into Damascus types. It seems the three biggest drivers on good vs. bad Damascus is #1. what steel is used in the laminate (fox-n-hound uses 440A for some of their layers). #2. the number of layers in the laminate and finally, of course, heat treatment. It will take a lot more research before I feel competent in the metallurgy here.
HSO brings up a good point that the quality of the knife is highly dependent on more than just the steel (locks, bearings, etc.). Part of the reason I started this thread is because I have had an idea and itch for scales for a Damascus folder. I would like the blade to be, but I want to spend <$100 total (including scale material). Can anyone comment on the quality of these knife kits? I really don't want this to turn into a knife-making project and really only care about customizing the scales. That said, I don't want to spend the time to put cool scales on a piece-of-doo knife. http://www.knifekits.com/vcom/produc...oducts_id=2988 or http://www.knifemaking.com/product-p/ss724.htm |

I like the Mustang kit if only because the bolsters are damascus also. Pair that kit with the pre-cut black G10 handle material and that would be a sweet looking knife.
As for the actual quality of the knife or the blade, I suspect it is not that great but I could be wrong. It'd be fun to put together either way so I probably go for it.

(AFP) – Mar 16, 2010
BEIJING — The family of He Pingping, the world's shortest man, said Tuesday they were shocked by his unexpected death in Italy, saying he had shown no previous signs of bad health.
"We just did not expect this bad news," his sister He Lihua told AFP over the phone from Baotou, a city in the northern region of Inner Mongolia where he lived.
"Pingping went to Italy... and he called us every day saying he wasn't eating well and that he missed us."
He Pingping, who had been named the world's shortest man by Guinness World Records, suffered chest problems while in Rome where he was taking part in a television show, and was taken to hospital but died over the weekend.
He Lihua said her brother, who had a form of primordial dwarfism and measured less than 75 centimetres (30 inches), had showed no signs of bad health before he left for Italy.
"Unfortunately we cannot go there and we can only wait for his body to come back," He said, adding that the family would be asking the Italian company behind the television show to pay for the funeral.
He's main rival to the title, Nepal's Khagendra Thapa Magar, said Tuesday he was saddened by the news.
"I offer my heartfelt condolences to the family of Mr. Ping. I met him a month ago for the first time and our first meeting was to be our last," said Magar, who travelled to Italy earlier this year to take part in the television show.
Magar, who is just 51 centimetres tall, applied to Guinness World Records to be recognised as the world's shortest man in February, when his family said he had turned 18.
But the organisation is reported to have questioned whether that is his true age.
Guinness World Records said it would announce He's successor as the world's shortest man in due course.

What? Pretty sure they won that game 69-59

"this makes NBA games sound like a ******* library"
youtube says it best.
Just wow, and why arent we doing this? Hilton would be shaking.
WVU / Baylor End of Game Country Roads - YouTube
WVU pulls a good one too...Not hating but I always thought "sweet caroline" was kinda weak. Only 87% of schools use it, I know Wagner uses it relentlessly. haha I was at a football game and they were down by about 21 points with about 1200 seahawk faithful singing like they just won their 5th straight BCS championship
Cant we just have a couple dumpster fires behind the baskets and all chant some bible stuff in latin with flash lights under our chins.
I feel like its a cult singing. Its almost as weird as Texas A&M doing the midnight rallies and their "scream leaders"
Agreed. I emailed Jamie Pollard once suggesting we get some songs that would pump up the players/fans more at football games. He was P I S S E D that I even suggested we add some more upbeat pump up songs.
Then 1 week later he announced a "you pick the game songs" contest. What a bastard..
U of Tenn plays Rocky Top about 60 times a game, or so I'm told. People did keep stats. I joked that I joined the Peace Corps in Armenia to get away from the song, then wound up singing it in a karaoke bar with another volunteer during training.
Several British football teams' fans sing "When You Walk Through a Storm" from "Carousel". That appeals to me a little more than "Sweet Caroline" if for no other reason than solidarity with our English brothers and world peace.
Did anyone else see the translation in the description?
"oοο you are gays, your father is ARIS' fans,
you always run away from us, you cant do otherwise"
Really?? haha well now I know better....I mainly have a problem with it when we are down by like 2 scores, they start it and the girls act like Neal is on the field singing it himself, when were already annoyed knowing we are probably walking out without a W. That is 100% a song you play when you have all but sealed the deal on a win or AFTER a win...Also like I said its used all over and lets be honest..its a WEIRD song!!! But most importantly I want to be original and a vistor to be like "oh thats cool they sing...." rather then "god another school that sings sweet caroline"

The trunk for the tree is on my property (just barely). I am happy to allow the neighbor to trim the tree all they want, but since it's not my house and it's far from my property line, I don't feel like I should have to pay for it.
Is it my responsibility or is it theirs?
There are numerous posts on this site about trees. Let me summarize for you. He can cut the tree to the property line at his own expense. You don't have any responsibility to pay. Search this site for more details.

Newest Review: ... recreate the delicious foods you have just eaten, as well as a selection of cookery books. The food there, in the restaurant, is delicio... more
Authentic Italian food, go to chain.
Member Name: Esky
Date: 31/08/13
Advantages: delicious food, excellent food shop for take home options.
Disadvantages: none
Carluccio's is my go-to chain restaurant. You know you are going to get authentic Italian food, and something that will suit all our family.
Carluccio's is an Italian eatery, and each branch (at least that I have been in) has a bakery / on site food store, from which you can buy Italian staple ingredients, breads, pastas, oils, sauces, meats, rice, cakes and chocolates etc. You can even buy the appropriate utensils to recreate the delicious foods you have just eaten, as well as a selection of cookery books.
The food there, in the restaurant, is delicious and the closest to the delicious flavours I experienced in Italy, of all the chain restaurants I have tried. I especially like that they offer regional specialities, and that, in my experience, someone there could explain them to us, including to my picky and specific son. On our last visit, we tried the particular giant olives from Puglia.
The pasta is just like I recall it from Italy, beautifully aldente, and with a particular texture. I was delighted to discover, that, if you buy the dried pasta to take home, this is easy to recreate at home. I have also taken home delicious cake, bressaola and wonderful bread.
My very favourite thing though, and this is achievable in all the branches I have visited, is that, if you love the Chicken Liver Pate (which is especially delicious) you can ask them to put some in an espresso cup and they will sell it to you by weight to take home. if you do this, and also get a loaf of the ciabatta, you can have the most delicious lunch in your own home - or possibly a starter to a lovely summer meal outdoors.
My only criticism is that, sometimes, the staff in the bakery / food shop can be a little less informed as to the foods they are selling than the restaurant staff.
It is a more expensive option than most Italian chains I have visited, but, the food and experience are much better, so it is definitely worth the extra.
Summary: Good chain option, with excellent take home benefits.

First things first: Yankees manager Joe Girardi deserves no criticism whatsoever for removing CC Sabathia and replacing him with Rafael Soriano on Tuesday night.
Regardless of how you feel in reference to strategy, is it such a terrible thing for a manager to use his $35 million set-up man with a—dare I say it?—greater than 3-run lead? Girardi's explanation that he wanted his best guy out on the mound because of the Twins potential to pinch hit with Justin Morneau and Jim Thome was sound; as was his decision to remove Sabathia after the pitcher had thrown 104 pitches on a chilly night. There's no viable argument against it other than classic second-guessing.
The focus on Girardi is a distraction from Soriano.
He pitched poorly. No big deal. But it was his actions following the game that raised eyebrows and caused concern about his already shaky makeup for New York.
In this NY Times story, Soriano explained that he was embarrassed and felt badly for ruining the win for Sabathia.
But he has to speak to the media.
He has to.
There's no way around that fact and he should've realized this when he signed with the Yankees—that he was going to blow a game here and there and would need to answer questions in its aftermath.
The Yankees have tread cautiously around Soriano since he signed. It didn't help that GM Brian Cashman openly admitted to not wanting the pitcher; they let him make his own schedule in the spring and basically left him alone.
If you're going to get special treatment, two things have to be accepted as part of that package of enabling: you'd better get the job done more often than not; and you'd better answer the questions when you don't.
Soriano did neither.
As I said before the season, Soriano will pitch well the majority of the time; when he doesn't, he'd better answer the questions and I'm not prepared to say he's learned his lesson. He will blow a game again; he might run from the reporters.
Is this evidence of Soriano being a "bad guy"?
Is it evidence of him being ill-suited for New York?
