1 M boarding small boat with Warrego River guide Lisa at start of 2 hour trip viewing a wonderful assortment of wildlife.
2 A couple of kangaroos viewing us quizically - for Gaby's benefit particularly.
3 Start of our evening and overnight Charlotte Plains camel wagon trip with CP resident cameleer Willie. Robyn offers these trips to ` homestay ` guests and Willie and a few ( in this case 7 ) of his trusty friends. He's worked with camels for 30 years catching them wild from the Simpson and other desert areas. Remarkable .
4 M making yet another 4 legged friend. Clearly an understanding here.
5 Willie explaining one of the finer points of camel wagon management and his extraordinary experiences.
6 Reid joins the 3 of us for breakfast after a night in swags under the stars by the artesian bore. Willie , also a hotel chef in earlier days, cooked us a superb dinner the night before including fresh water crayfish ( yabbies ) caught in the bore drain.
7 M getting a lesson in breaking an egg with one hand . Breakfast at 5.30 was porridge , lamb chops , fried eggs and damper with syrup. Needed it ! Went straight from there to muster Sawpit paddock ( 6,000 acres and 1600 sheep ) with aid of gyrocopter hired by Reid for the day .
