It's been getting very dry here at Dickabram bridge but today we have had some lovely rain. The area certainly needs it & the Mary River is very low.

They had 2 children (a baby & a toddler), 2 dogs tied up all day on very short leads, some small chickens in a s...

I see Happy Wanderer is now "The Master" - when did this happen? I missed sending congratulations, sorry Marj. Not sure how it works, but seems like with over 10,000 posts she's grown out of the "Guru" status! "Mistress" might have been more suited though.

Arrived at Martin's Bend, east of Berri on the River Murray in South Australis. It's got this name because it's a bend in the river but who Martin was I have no idea.

Having recently hit the road, we're becoming increasingly dependent on the GPS unit to guide us on where we want to go and I'm becoming more suspicious that they appear to know as little about how to get where we want to go that I do. We have 2 GPS units - one in the Mazda BT50 that has received a fair bit of bad...
