G,day nav.1, I was carting cattle down to
Brighton Downs from Dalgonally north of Julia Ck about a month after you went down through that way and noticed the grave at Tulmur but could not go for a look as I was loading at Tulmur yds for
Blackall sale...the couple of runs I did to
Brighton sure got me fired up to get down that way with the kamper this March if the road is open and after seeing your blog I am all the more fired up to go...Tried to get into Diamantina N.P. in July 2010 but it was too wet.. even waited 2 days in Bouila in the hope it would open but no luck..Get to see a lot of good spots in some out of the way
places when stockcarting only hope to get here when time permits.. Thanks Jack

What a wonderful age he reached. I wonder if anyone knows anything about this man. He obviously loved that part of the world.
