Bush camping at Ambalindum Homestead  – Built in the early 1900’s as a sheep station, it is now a working cattle station.

An old Gifford Simpson Adelaide No 8 wood burner stove -  now in the bushcamp kitchen

Flat tyre at Pinnacle Bore – Iron bark sliver on track!  Alan fixed it at Gemtree using several lengths of puncture fixing gunge – messy sticky stuff yet seems to work if the tyre is pierced within the tread.
