Adventures
Safe and Sound
Today was a little less dramatic then yesterday, I awoke around eight after having sat up with Fi until 1am watching the smoldering heap that was a pile of rubbish 24 hours earlier. The pile had reduced down nicely, although there was a lot of metal rubbish in it that obviously didn’t burn. Was still very hot … Continue reading
Little Duna is Burning!!
The day started as any other up here. Woke to the tranquil sounds of Little Duna. It is so peaceful up here and it is finally starting to feel like home. We arrived about 9:30pm Friday night, early really given how un -prepared we were, but having done it a few time recently it really … Continue reading
Skydiving
Not a normal place to post something like this, but then again….. why not? Back in November 2013, Vicki, Kelly and I all jumped out of a plane. I finally got around to compiling our video’s into a single movie. enjoy 🙂
The trip is over
It is always a sad day pack up day… means there is no more fun and have to go back to work tomorrow 🙁 At least at Little Duna we can have a late check out when ever we need it… I know the owners!! Today was an especially sad packup for me as I … Continue reading
Just another day
Today was just another day. I awoke again to the tranquil sounds of birds, but while it was late (*cough* 9am *cough*), there was little incentive to get out of bed as I could tell it was a miserable overcast day. I had heard a brief shower go over about 6am and today was forecasting … Continue reading

A Little Duna Easter
Ok…Ok… I’m sorry, I didn’t blog over the weekend, but we were just having too much fun, and there wasn’t really a chance to sit down and think through writing a blog, so I’ll just do a quick summary to make up for it!!! We left after work on Thursday night after a much more … Continue reading
65mm overnight
Looks like we made the right decision to leave last night with Violet Town topping the States rainfall will 65mm overnight. http://www.weeklytimesnow.com.au/news/national/rain-relief-for-victorian-farmers/story-fnkfnspy-1226878733274 Violet Town topped the state with 65mm overnight. Seems it was worth the shitty wet drive home! I wonder if the creek is running yet? Hope the quad bike was on high enough … Continue reading
Evacuate Evacuate!!
So last night just after we had finished our lovely lamb roast cooked in the Cobb, we made the decision to abandon ship and head home 🙁 We probably would have waited it out if we didn’t have the dogs with us, but where we had setup camp was turning into a lakeside retreat, with … Continue reading
Met the Neighbour and Lake Duna
Well we woke yesterday to a drab and dreary day. Was very overcast and not really inspiring to do all that much really. The dogs were spooked all night, especially Kushi who kept running over to the neighbours block barking. We just couldn’t figure out what it was that had him so spooked, and when … Continue reading
