from our next locality Woodford. We packed and departed with reasonable efficiency this morning aided by the lightest of dews. We left at 1040 after saying our goodbyes and paused for expresso on the way.
The trip was uneventful apart from some excitement when trying to avoid the toll road. I was in the wrong lane and despite the opinion of the passenger that the sign-age was clear, it wasn't. We went through the airport tunnel a toll road. However the neon sign declared it was toll free until August 22nd so we dodged a minor bullet there.

After travelling around 160km we arrived at our new host and met the principals Des and Irene. There are several other people here so I have a lot of names to remember, Ron, Marion, Ian, Chris and Katy. The block the property is on is narrow compared to it's one kilometre depth which ends at the Stanley River. It has been flooded nearly 20 times by the river in the past 2 years. Thankfully it is fairly dry and the river low at the moment. The livestock consists of horses,cows and geese.
We wandered down to the Stanley River with Irene to see how Chris was going with the fishing. He caught a catfish while we were there and several bass while we weren't. On the weekend he caught a 5kg cod and was broken off by a larger one today. I shall be digging worms after work tomorrow and breaking out my rods and landing net!
Speaking of work it starts at 730 so we have the alarm set for 630 for breakfast so it now being 930 it is bedtime!
Night folks
Simon
