Hi friends, what would you think of when I say to you "Outback" maybe sun scourced land, heat, red soil, mirages, NO not today we have driven about 400km to the "outback" to Cobar and on the way it rained lightly for about 2/3 hours along red deep soils muddy with puddles. We saw wild goats, emus, sheep and cattle with lots of scrubby bush and long straight roads. As for MIke's magic touch that turns everything to mush, its easing not too many things have gone wrong today so maybe his luck is changing (thank you) We are really enjoying your comments so keep them coming, thanks.
