      Yes, it's a great place to get away on your own and to quote Billy Joel "forget about life for a while" 😄

      It is fantastic being in the outback rock hounding but the nights are long and lonely, especially since I forgot to take my hard drive full of movies ☹

    Some very nice rocks Paul, also the roo jelly beans. New rig looks great, be a bit different for you rock hounding in it. Great video look forward to the Norseman one next. Thanks for taking us along on the journey.

      😆Thanks Gordon, the new vehicle is actually a bit narrower than the old Adventra so I'm going to have to make up some rock storage areas but a lot better at getting out of tricky situations 👍

    Good thing you didn't bring that "obsidian" home because I don't think it'd work out to well in the tumbler, because please excuse me for saying this but as the saying goes "you can't polish a t__d" 😂🤣😂
    Anyway glad you had a great trip away and l'm really looking forward to seeing the rest of your adventure 😄

      😆 maybe given a few million years it might be hard enough to polish 😆

      That emu was in perfect time to the song I was listening to at the time, Johnny Cash's "Got Rhythm" but RUclips would have canned it for copyright infringement 😄
      Imagine being somewhere without rocks 😳
