Tilley X246's on the road...

I've just returned from a three week traverse of Australia camping in various beautiful parts of the continent. When I finish editing all my photos I'll post a series of them over at CCS.

Here are a few pics of my faithful Tilley X246's that lit the nights while camping.

Note that the mantles were used on my last camping trip and have survived regular use on a further journey of 8055 kilometres ((5005 miles in the old money).

The old shearing shed at Koonalda on the Nullarbor plain:

Stunning and beautiful photos Tony,

I especially like the interesting shots of the shearing shed and the place built of railway sleepers !
but I would have found it hard to drive away from the old fuelling station with it's collection of old vehicles

Thank you for sharing them with us :-)

ps where did your ferry dock from Tas? It's almost 2,000 miles each way to Fitzgerald Rivers !

 

Pod

The ferry goes between Devonport in Tasmania and the Port of Melbourne in Victoria.

Thanks Tony,

Yes I thought as much.

Ok, so that is the same as me driving from here to Moscow and back?

Hang on, I think i get it..this is a kind of walkabout isn't it?

 

I bet he didn't come across a young Jenny Agutter, though...

 

Those shearing sheds makes me think of one of my favorite movies.
