Hi Keith and Judy, thank you for such beautiful photos, can not wait for us to be on the road and see those beautiful places and birds in real life. I was wondering , do you have a very sophisticated camera to take your photos? thank you, Cheers Mez & Christian

Both of us use DSLR cameras & 600mm lenses, about $2500 worth for each of us. You can spend a lot more than that though.
For general photography (not wildlife) we both have Panasonic Lumix TZ70 travel cameras which cost around $450 each.
If you don't want to spend too much at places like JB Hifi or Harvey Norman you can buy Canon & Nikon DSLR cameras which come with two lenses as a set, one short one & one long telephoto.
Where was the fridge when ambient was zero - I hope not in the van, BRRRRRRRRRR.
The temp gauge reads the temp inside our caravan fridge, it's the only fridge we have. We don't need a beer fridge in the tub of our ute, we're both red wine drinkers.

Magnificent photos DD. Takes me back to the times I rode my horses through these same areas years ago. We used to ride in from Hattah in a Westerly direction and eventually come out after nine days, having viewed the Pink Lakes, to Underbool. Hot showers and a counter-meal were very welcome. We then rode back to the Ouyen Race course (where we left our horses) along the tree-lined strip beside the highway, and were car-pooled back to pick up our cars and floats from Hattah. We had flimsy nylon tents and I remember well how freezing it got at night. Pretty windy too - I remember our back-up vehicle chasing a nylon igloo tent across the plains when the tent pegs supplied were not long enough for the sand. We used to go up at end of August.

You obviously know the area well Val. We've had many trips up to the Mallee over many years. Our first few were under canvas & it does get freezing overnight & early morning.
