Chilling around the caravan park resting from traveling. There is a smell of rotting fish as you have to kill Carp here if you catch them. Staff here are saying it’s something to do with the conditions in the Murray but I call bullcarp! Probably should have taken some photos […]

Day chilling in Hay. Shearing demo. One of the residents had a pretty cool Harley, even though I’m not a HD man. The local IGA has become storage for the owners collection of bikes.
