Tambo 2015

Passing through this vast area on the Landsborough Hwy, surveyed by Major Mitchell Surveyor-General of NSW in 1846. The cranky Scotsman filled the position after Evans (of Blue mountains fame) died. Remembering the majority of Australia was NSW.  He and his men spent more than 12 months exploring the unknown country looking for a great river flowing north/west.
He never found it, maybe its because its underground and I, have not found the Major Mitchell cockatoo.



Looking in the distance to the west where the water mirages begin and the trees are sparse, that far out place is where I would love to be. 
Stopping at Tambo for the night in a caravan park for $25, simply because I can, specially due to my mangled ankle. Fell out of the motor home, missed the step, panicked thinking I had broken it, plenty of strapping, tight sock and shoe kept it in place, all is good. 


 And Wow! speaking to family on FB how amazing is that. I don't know how they did it but I was so grateful to hear their voices.
I don't often admit I miss them all but I defiantly do, thank you for the call girls.
