Target species was kingies
Target species was kingies but no dice, between myself, a mate and my boy we got 5 nice jacks, and a flat battery, lucky I run an overkill battery in the boat, jumped the cruiser with that, ramp was better than last time I went there, not really muddy at all, can't wait till summer so I can chase some barra down that way, when you headin back that way or even Hedland way?

Howdy Yewie, still got
Howdy Yewie, still got another 3 weeks on this job, looking after a couple of dozers that are cutting out some roads and drill pads out Rhodes Ridge way. After that and when wifey gets back, we'll have a look at what's next. Reluctant to head north too much while all the grey nomads are, so we'll hang near Headland or even go back to Balla, we liked it there. But there's no hurry at all.
