- Digging and Living
Cunnamulla, QLD, Australia
Here are a few photos of mining and critters and the sky and footy (that's what Aussies call rugby - what they refer to as "football" or "footy") - there were 2 finals recently - AFL and NRL - and a truck I was stuck behind when trying to get some fuel . . . enjoy.

- A New Open Cut
Cunnamulla, Qld, Australia
Earlier this season some digging was done on a new open cut at my mine. On Monday and Tuesday two of my friends provided me with a great deal of help with that cut. Andrew lent me his 40 ton excavator and Lindsay used it to enlarge the cut and remove the first 15 or so feet of dirt. A big thank you to both of them.
Below are photos of the cut developing . . . .

Yesterday I went to a nearby artesian bore to wash some clothes and a mother roo with her joey came for a drink.

- Back in Koroit
Koroit, Queensland, Australia
After 60 hours of flights and layovers and 15 hours of driving, I'm finally back in Koroit. The drive to Koroit took longer than usual because much of it was at night and there were literally hundreds of kangaroos. Unfortunately, I hit 3 of them.
It's unusually hot, which means many reptiles are out and about. I haven't seen any snakes yet, but I have seen many lizards.
Right now I have to run, but hope to be posting again soon with a few photos.
Again, thank you to Len and Kim for letting me using their computer.

- a Soaked Singapore
Singapore, Singapore
Here is a poor, but rather Whistler/Turner-like, photo of Singapore in the rain.
Tomorrow morning I'll be in Australia . . . then, on Thursday, off to Koroit.

- another step
Singapore - Singapore
After a brief wander around it appears that the Singapore airport is nicer and more comfortable to spend the night in than many hotels I've stayed in.
Tomorrow, after I've had some sleep, I might add a few photos - the Koi pond is beautiful.

- making progress
Inchon AIrport - South Korea
Progress is being made. I'm about to re-board Singapore Airlines SQ-15 to Singapore after spending less than an hour here . . . time to go.
