Thread: Headin of inna da neba neba!!

One ya Shane. Have a great time. Look forward to hearing of your adventures.

Actually I am looking forward to starting off... wasnt that long ago I went up to Mt Magnet... but been over 30 years since I was in Meeka and Newman Broome was about 25 years back... so all up should be a great trip

Just gotta memba how to speak "propa" out there

Have great time Shane.

If you happen to land in Sydney (unlikely, but you never know), send me a PM and we will arrange for a few brown waters to be consumed (may get Wongo and some of the others around here together to meet the Dingo in person).

Drive safely

Sydney is the land of the muddy water

Have fun Shane, are you taking a chainsaw?

Im back........

WHAT A FLAMIN TRIP!!! AWEFRIGGINSOME!!! Extreme FUN!!!

Rain heat flies sweat and a bloody lot of BEER was had... took 37 hours to get there and 63 to get back!!... went tearing up to Meeka first target got there with a cracked windscreen courtesy of a mad bloody semi driver just out of New Norcia then a roo attacked headon the new ARB bullbar just south of Mt Magnet suicidal buggar them clocked a wedged tail eagle just at the doorstep of Meeka almost turned back at that point as it seemed that something was tryin to tell me it wasnt a good idea this trip... but well I fueled up looked around and felt warm and that great feeling of freedom and life just screamed through me... so I messaged everyone and decided to head to a campsite just north of Meeka for a bit of tucker

So I get there... lovely spot... begin getting STUFF ready first things first COLD BEER aahhhh then out with the tucker out with the frypan out with the plate chair and weapons and then I ripped out the gas bottle... all good so far eh?... then the barbie set her all up all swisho on her stand open her up... mmmm where the fl**(* is the damned gas lead??? so the mad scrambling search began... nope you guessed it dopey left it behind in the other camping barbie bag didnt he!! aaaaaaaaaaahhh another BEER!!!... so I sat back pondered me situashun a tad had anothery then it hit me!!

I had fish out right? right!! I had also bought a smoker... yes!!! so I set that up and set it to smoking the three peices the thing held... gave it its due time as per the intructions right?... nope... the two outside peices were RAW... but hey the centre peice was cooked BEAUTIFULLY!!!... so a bit of salad was made up a bit of dressing another BEER and I was in paradise! or so I thought...

Now up that way theyve had a shyteload of RAIN... and well as most would no doubt know rain up there brings out... JOE BLAKES!!! good gawd mates snakes? STREWTH everywhere I friggin looked were snakes!!... nope not stayin here he thoughts and packs camp in lightning time and gone up the frog and toad again... thinkin Newman aint so far up the track so that would do

BUT!!... didnt consider the time driving sleep deprivation thing did I... nope so I managed to lob up at some obscure little roadhouse before my eyes did the lights out dance and so had a grand feed a few more beers a good shower and slept the sleep of angels on a lovely mattress!!! gawd talk about bliss... then up and down the track again by 4am... aiming for Marble Bar for the night

Got to Newman by 6ish and stopped and yarned to the local whollopers about the conditions of the road through Nullagine Marble Bar to Headland... mmmm mate you do see the rain out there dont you? well its coming down like the proverbial cats and dogs out there... yep up the bitumine I went straight through to Pt Headland... cool short hop to Broome from here no wukkers and off I go again... after spending a few hours trying to score a gas lead... hint here if you need one in Pt Headland DONT go to Pt Headland go directly to South Headland and find the camping store which is around the back behind the shopping centre "Squizzys" as I recall... NO ONE else has them

So off I barrelled... got to Sandfire in 40C temp and decided to stop for a bit have a shower and relax before taking on the final leg... as I buggared of I noticed the sign for Wallal station and the southern end of 80 mile beach

OH!!! Chris? Mate I spotted Bidgie as I went along so I pulled up dropped me daks and threw em a browneye just for you... then I did a jig whooped and yelled screamed me head of before realizing what a galah I would have looked if anyone had wandered along and so shot through before me good name was trashed forever in the far north west... but I said gidday for you!!

Sounds like a great time ('cept the Joe Blakes - hate them) and good to get your perspective back in order.

Great to hear from you, Ding and keep in touch

good to see you getting your head back into order mate. keep posting getting jealous of your road trip

yeh right Ding it didn't happen not one bit you

Fuel makes a wonderful fire diesel or petrol or even drop of sprits gets an open fire going real well

This thread doesn't need pictures - it needs a song.

Dry My Tears And Move On
Written by Richard Thompson Appears on Mock Tudor (1999)
live from austin tx DVD & CD (2005)


If you don't want me I'll dry my tears and move on
If you don't want me I'll dry my tears and move on

You treated me just good enough until now
But if you're tired of me I'll get over you somehow
Oh, if you don't want me I'll dry my tears and move on

If you don't need me there's someone else who needs me out there
She's kind and tender and one day I'll find her I swear
So set me free while I've still got time
Don't try to hide your shame, dear, from my eyes
Oh, if you don't want me I'll dry my tears and move on

Faded love
As if you need a reason
Am I out of your dreams
Or just out of season
Oh the flame of love
Oh you wouldn't understand
You hide it in your heart
You don't hold it in your hand

If you don't want me I'll dry my tears and move on
If you don't want me I'll dry my tears and move on

My suit has got creases and my shoes have got shine
Let me know soon I'll find a better use for my time
Oh if you don't want me
If you don't want me
Oh, if you don't want me I'll dry my tears and move on
I'll dry my tears and move on
I'll dry my tears and move on
