G'day folks,
Pity I didn't know you were poking around up there. Would have come and said hi.
I'm just down the road at Davenport Downs. Been the gardener here for 2 years.
Love this area and good to see your photos. OzEx people always welcome to drop in and say g'day. I'll be the one pushing the mower.
Dave

Hi Dave, We went through Davenport Downs on our way south to
Betoota.
We got to speak to Dale, the Head Stockman, just near Palparara. He was checkingt he number of cattle on each truck as they went through and there were a few on the road. Jack (in an earlier comment) let us know that he was one of the drivers. Further down the track we met Bobby, a musterer on bike. What a massive job the muster is.
If we get back there we will keep an eye out for you. Sorry we didn't get to meet up with you and Jack.
I received a MM from Ma (Members Pa & Ma) and she said that her Grandfather was once the manager of Diamantina Downs and other nearby properties. I hope she puts the comment up here.
