Great write-up and photos, Pete.  Thanks for sharing.
So why had the roo got such red eyes?  We all regard them as evil when it comes to vehicular interactions, but apart from that (and a tendency of big bucks to rip your guts out) they're pretty benign, I thought.
Just shows a basic rig can supply all you need.
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

The sisters had a lot to say.  :fp   so it's lucky that I already had some deafness in my left ear, and I managed OK.   :grin

"We then took the highway to the Kununurra Region, Pernalulu, Halls Creek region, shot down the Tanamai to Wolf Creek (didn't see Mick), Fitzroy Crossing and on to Derby where we restocked for the journey back across the Gibb River Road including the road (and I use the term loosely) to the iconic Mitchell Falls."


Well of course you didn't see Mick. We wouldn't be reading this if you had.  :crackup
