New EOTrackMe Android Update: A new version of EOTrackMe Android was released on 7th July through the Google Play Store. The new version is V4.3 and fixes an issue that affected some devices when they either booted or went into off-line (out of service) mode. The new fix makes the app much more stable and reliable on a wider array of devices. If you have auto updates set in your Play Store settings it will automatically update. Otherwise, go to the Play Store, search for EOTrackMe and then click Update to install the new version. The update is free of course. |

| What's Blooming in July? Visitors to National Parks and reserves between Geraldton and Denham on the WA coast might see the distinctive dusky red or pink flower heads of the Murchison Rose (Diplolaena mollis) or the closely related Tamala Rose (Diplolaena grandiflora). These shrubs are in the same family as Banksias and Grevilleas. They produce plenty of nectar so are a favourite of honeyeaters and other nectar feeding birds, small mammals and insects.

| Canning Stock Route DVD The Canning Stock Route is considered one of the last frontiers - a challenging 4x4 trip that requires extensive preparation and planning. So who would ever think to walk it?
In search of inspiration for her drawings and paintings, artist Pam Armstrong is amongst the few who have walked the Canning Stock Route. Her journey was undertaken and completed a year ago this week and ExplorOz'ers may remember encountering her along the track or may have read the various posts about her journey in our Forum.
Her newly released DVD "Up Close on the Canning" shows a very different perspective to what you'll see in your vehicle. Travelling on foot she was able to observe the small details of plants and animals that live along the route, and rather than flat tyres, she dealt with blisters. There are many highs and lows in the story and you'll even see photos of her finished paintings interspersed with footage of the scenes that inspired the artwork. Just $29.95 from ExplorOz ($28.45 for Members)
