Has anyone heard from Bob Y. He stayed the night at
Rawlinna and his tracker now has him 35 odd kilometres north of
Rawlinna on the Connie Sue Highway and not moving in the past 5 days. He is near Premier Downs Station but appears to be on the highway. Chris

Been on the road myself so I have not loged on for a while. Now I see Bob is up past the Telfar
mine.
I use a Spot device which send your position every 5 minutes and uses satellites. I am thinking Bob is using an android device which I think needs mobile reception to up load the position data. As you get phone reception as you pass the Telfar
mine this is why we now see his track, no phone reception between
Rawlinna and Telfar.
So if you want to follow someone you need to know what sort of device they have.
Looks like Bob is on his way to the ball at DQB.

Chris, Allan, Warrie, Harry, Stephen, Andrew, Steve et al,
Many thanks for looking out for me, but I have been okay, sleeping
well, eating now & again, drinking a variety of fluids and travelling with 3 other vehicles and 4 good blokes(same crew who did the
Hill & Geocentre last June). We are at
Auski Roadhouse, departing for
Marble Bar, then Carrawine
Gorge.
Telfer Road,
Gary Junction & Sandy Blight to Ayers
Rock, where we will no doubt go our seperate ways.
Member Cuppa advised he was tracking me as far as Rudall, then faded into the ether.
The V8 is going
well, changed a fuel filter in Karijini, chopped wall out of a rear Toyo AT II in Rudall & nicked sidewall on other rear driving off Mt Meharry. Fuel consumption has varied between low 13’s to about 16L/100. Fuel costs were usual high @ Kunawirritji of $3.40 down to $1.43 at Puma, in
Ceduna.
Warburton Crossing 29/06/18
Warburton was still wet on 29th, and was unable to get into the main channel. Best advice now would be to ring Peter Nunn, manager of Clifton Hills. Apologies for the delay. LOL
Thanks once again Everyone, you’re good blokes.
Bob

Enjoyed a great trip with Bob and 2 other vehicle, 5 blokes, around 11000km covered so far plus some individual travel to / from . . .
Bob got
home Wed night (4th), with me as
well, as I've come via
Winton to Brissy for a week, and kindly let me shower and crash at his place for the night.
Thanks Bob, a great trip.
