    Cruizin' on 100

    Part 1 of an 11 day journey to the Kennedy Ranges and return. Day 1 to 3. Will I break something this time? Will I chalk up 100,000Km's of trips away? Stay tuned to find out.

    Continuing on: we explore part of the West Kennedy's and end up the following day on the East side. Trying to kill myself by taking the wrong route to a cache, I'm still wearing odd shoes. It's hard to let an old sandle go. The dirty fox that stole my other one, must have had the same thoughts.....

        Too right. I've had to bail on a couple now for this reason. A signature in a book sometimes just aint worth it.

        For the record, I found later there is an easier way to get to ground zero, but it requires a walk of around 3 hours. Something I didn't have at my disposal the time. So I have left it open to go back again....haha. Sometime when its not +40 degrees.

          Part 3 of a dried up old codgers boring adventure:

          Continuing on, we leave the Kennedy's for Mt Augustus and Mt Gould with a surprise find in the middle.

            Just back tonight from another 5 days out bush

            So here is something to fill in your Easter break:

            leaving Mt Gould, we travel down to Afghan Rock, Big Bell and marvel at the artwork at Walga Rock

            Hope you all have a safe Easter, where ever you may be travelling to.

              leaving Walga Rock, we meet the boys from Austin Downs, laugh at the Dalgaranga meteorite crater, camp at a "secret WA location" and end up at a very nice abandoned homestead.

                All good things must come to an end. Now you know why I'm cruzin' on 100.

                Buried in the vid is detail on how to find my prize to celebrate achieving 100,000Km's of logged trips away. Thanks for watching.

                      hmmmm, interesting. Might have to look for those myself, though without prior intelligence, it may be a needle in a haystack scenario. Thanks for the kudos


                      FYI, someone complained my articles were bringing the mag down and I should be given the flick. Time will tell how long my tenure there is.

                        Extremely well written article. I was able to escape from being confined in the house for a few minutes.
