Have been putting on quite a few miles since leaving Winton - going down through the middle of Australia, wheat fields, gold mines and bald plains. We are currently at Hay, Victoria . The area around here is bald plains, large cattle and sheep stations, it would be a very harsh live here, yesterday when we arrived it was 40C and there was a strong wind blowing that was whipping up the loose soil on the fields creating a mini dust storm. Have taken some photos but have not down loaded them yet. Short blog today as we have to make Melbourne by this evening to be able to keep on track to go all the way back up to see Alice Springs and the Red Centre.
There has not been much rain here for the past year so things are pretty dry. Up near Winton ,we passed areas that had only had 2 to 4 mm of rain last year and although most of the cattle and sheep were in fair condition, some were very thin. Saw lots of wild animals but did not stop to take many photos.
