Sorry about the lack of updates but a very busy week of 12 hour days has left me tired and just about falling asleep over dinner.
The weather has been perfect and most days are around the mid 30's. It has taken a few days to get used to the warmer weather with the first couple giving me a nice NT tan. :)
My few days work as turned into a full weeks work getting the system back into a functional state after a ringer or two left some gates incorrectly chained. It's amazing how much damage Cattle can cause over night.
PGH has some stunning spots but the floating logs with funny bumps on one end don't make the water holes that inviting. To quote a local 'bloody lizards!'. The pasture is amazing with the spear grass in places up over 6' in height. PGH has a strange balance of enviroments, The tropical Savanah to the south with the more impressive rock outcrops in the north. There are many examples of the local culture that existed well before the 'white fella' came. I have seen at least three large sites that show that PGH once supported a fairly large population and still does today with the local population still using this land on a daily basis.
Miles upon miles of fat cows and very fat wieners. mmm steak.
I should be heading to VRD and Kidman springs over the weekend so a few more tropical spots along the Victoria River should provide some relief from the sun on the plains. The 'scare-craft' as a 'certain' hardware engineer calls it will be getting a well earned service on Monday morning with a flight to Hogdson downs in the afternoon.
