Heading further Bush...

I Completed the small job that I needed to do at VRD and 'Installed' a motor controller at Kidman Springs so the guys don't need to swim the creek during the wet. I'm sure the 'bloody lizards' would help the olympic swimming teams training. Those 'bloody lizards' also have some fine dining with Tony's prize fillet on offer. The beef just keeps getting better as I head further north. Nothing tastes as good a real steak sandwich at Kidman Springs.

The boys from Helimuster NT at VRD did a fantatic job on the service with the girl now absolutely purring. I was surpised to say the least at the food. Gary (resort chief) can put on a great feed and I would encourage anyone to book the Helimuster NT motel room for the night. Great place with some great fishing spots within walking distance from the work shop. Sunday is a day of recreational flying so avoid the blokes attached to the eleven meter kites running up and down the strip.

Barra fishing at VRD is the favourite hobby of most of the boys. Reef 'n' Beef is the staple diet.

I am currently sitting at Daly waters enjoying the shade of a previous employers pub.

It was a very interesting landing at Daly waters. It appears that the old copy of ERSA is a little out of date. (about 40 years). The runway is about 3000m long and about 40m wide. The trees growing out of the bituman at either end could make life interesting for anyone other than a Jabiru. Ok maybe a STOL would work. Look out for tourist's taking a scenic drive down the strip. I hope I scared the crap out of them.

It's a shame that a significant part of WW2 and early international flight history is slowly rotting away. The pre-world war 2 hanger is finally getting used for it's intended purpose after a break of several years.
