Mythical creatures, mysterious caves, secret rituals. A quest out of World of Warcraft? No, but more on that later. Welcome back peeps. Year four of the ‘junko’ blog starts…..NOW!  Firstly, the Photo Gallery is soooo close. All the galleries are ready to upload, but to get it to do what I want, I’m transferring the domain to a hosting siteContinue reading “The Den of Nargun”

Lake Cargelligo
There are lakes and there are lakes. As Mick Dundee would say; “That’s not a lake…..THAT’S a lake”. Now, I’m sure there’s bigger out there, but it certainly dominates the view from just about anywhere in the township and surrounds. According to my guide, there was only one free campsite close to town, Frogs Hollow,Continue reading “Lake Cargelligo”
To the Murray….and Beyond 1
It was sad to leave Lake Congelligo, but as they say, duty called. My partner in musical crime, Phil had his second AZ shot… and lived, and Tamika had ‘persuaded’ me as only she can, that it was the right thing to do….if not for me, for the country. I took the precaution of checkingContinue reading “To the Murray….and Beyond 1”
Beyond…finally! 1
There’s nothing like being marooned on the wrong side of the Murray and in lock down to run out of ideas to amuse and entertain my loyal readers. I could not offer any relief to the tedium you have all been experiencing since my last post. However, Dan Andrews did provide a window of opportunityContinue reading “Beyond…finally! 1”
Tilting At Windmills
Wow I’m not going to make a habit of this Anyway, I’m guessing not many of you have got up close to these guys. They are like towering sentinels with their gaze fixed on some unseen horizon. Imposing and yet elegant. I started to wonder why anyone would object to wind turbines in the ruralContinue reading “Tilting At Windmills”
It’s all about The Dish, ’bout The Dish, no Trouble
As far as I know there are two reasons to go to Parkes. One, if your an Elvis impersonator (get a life people) and two, to see the radio telescope made famous by Sam Neil et al in The Dish. So, I’ll go with whats behind door number two please. After spending two days withContinue reading “It’s all about The Dish, ’bout The Dish, no Trouble”
It’s Zoo Time!
The run to Dubbo was uneventful. It took a while for the Warrumbungles to finally dip below the horizon but soon had the interior of the Jeep like a warm bath. I had a ‘to do’ list in Dubbo including the Western Plains Zoo that afternoon. However, I’d lost time and soon realized that WellingtonContinue reading “It’s Zoo Time!”
Ponto (so not) Falls Reserve
Straight up, there are no falls at Ponto Falls Reserve. If there ever was, someone’s filled them in. That’s the only disappointment here. I can’t imagine a more bucolic setting to spend a few relaxing days defrosting and enjoying the winter sunshine. Discreet van sites along the top side the river and for the moreContinue reading “Ponto (so not) Falls Reserve”
Peace on earth…I wish.
..and so, this is Christmas. All the terrible events around the world. If world leaders are content to hide behind ‘diplomacy’ and not risk all for lasting peace, the innocents die anyway, but without the cold comfort that their death might have meant something. Who isn’t fearful for the first time? I’m spending a fewContinue reading “Peace on earth…I wish.”
Last Dance at The Prom
Next morning, left the van early and headed back into Wilson’s Promontory. Yesterday was just a sliver of what The Prom has to offer, and I wanted at least one other perspective to share with you. It’s not all hill climbs and heart attacks. Lilly Pilly Gully sounded a mere stroll DOWN by comparison. AContinue reading “Last Dance at The Prom”
