Already covered: Needed to be said….Mentour discusses the fall of QF

Tell me more by PM, if you wish.

Plenty of insects on the windscreen, and - as I mentioned - the bush flies were in great abundance and with particularly persistent nuisance behaviour. It is, incidentally, an insect the biology and ecology of which I happen to know a great deal about. I see no overt difference now after c. 50...

LTG is just SG to QF. I have been informed by a CSM that the pax flight manifest does not differentiate a LTG from a SG.

Burst mode is your friend.

Continuing on through a sea of wildflowers, to camp at Billiburning Rock.

That evening, I contemplated continuing NE to Cue as the lure of a superb Cue Burger and a bottle of Far Cue (😜) red, previously documented several times, was in my mind. However, on reflection, I opted against that for a few reasons: the wildflowers further N were past their peak, I had been...

Continuing N of Mullewa, first on the main road, then a short detour onto a track to really drive amongst the wildflowers. Then into Murchison shire, the least-populated LGA in Australia, and the only one without an official town (Shire of Murchison - Wikipedia) - but it's managed to get the...

First night's tranquil camp site. And comes the dawn.

Righto, after an August with many rain days and other things to attend to, I had a gap this week to get out bush again. It's been a good season in the mid-west of WA - think inland of Geraldton and to the NE into the upper Murchison River catchment. Unusually, the winter rains started earlier...

Changed plans as the wildflowers are past their peak further N, so headed SE through a spectacular show to Payne's Find and into the N wheatbelt, then home today. The Far Cue red/Jura challenge is for another day... 😜

And what is that embossing I see...🧐🤢

Thorough; in particular we were required to practise the landing position before takeoff. It was my fourth ballooning trip; PJM's first.

Excellent tasting last night.

View of and from today’s office in the Avon Valley between Toodyay and Northam. Gorgeous morning for ballooning.

I see no sign of any thing remotely resembling work whatsoever in those pictures...🧐🤬

Then you probably wouldn't like parts of the Canning Stock Route... 😜

Frightening. :eek: I think I could stay clear of all things mentioned in those YT videos, but for a complete accident out of the blue as experienced by @drron, it is really scary. 'Hostage justice' is an appalling concept. After all this, I would choose never to drive in Japan.

I have been interested in your and @bPeteb's comments about the state of the roads. I was there in 2015 and @Daver6 was there around that era. I can't recall the roads being anything like as bad as you blokes have described. They struck me as being very much like most Australian maintained...
