While away on our 2 weeks down south doing the wildflower trails, with two other couples including longtime friends Tom and Kathy Soward, work out of the mine had virtually come to a standstill. So with little for me to do, we decided it was a good time for me to fly home and have a catch up with the family and give the garden an overdue cut back. Also let the neighbours know how much we appreciate them keeping an eye on the place. All was good with the house and the yard was neat and tidy, even the spar was ok after not being used for 6 months. Lovely to see all the family, and the great grandkids gave me the warmest welcome. Chris’s mum ended up in hospital, and very ill, the day I arrived. Darlene lent me her car so I was able to get around. So doctor, dentist and hospital visits, kept me busy. After a week there wasn’t a lot of improvement with June’s condition, so Chris flew home for a week as well. We both flew back to Port Hedland on the 18th of September.
Still no work, so we hooked up the van and headed south for a week. The first night out we made camp on the banks of the Balla Balla River. 
Nice to be out in the van again, so relaxing to be wandering around with my camera.
Not sure everyone was happy having their photo taken, so I just hung around long enough to take a couple of pics, before leaving the wildlife to enjoy their pickings. 
We will move on tomorrow. Thinking of going as far as Pt. Samson, this trip.
