Wednesday 3 July: You Spoke. We Heard. More Chops.

"A real caravan at last"

Today the humans and I travelled from Balledonia to Coolgardie, stopping for a few sniffs along the way and a much-needed snack at Norseman. I had asked them to take a few shots of my typical day. 

First thing in the morning I move from my rather cramped bed to the much larger one the humans use. 

Then a little walk before breakfast, mine and theirs.  I must say, I think they need to improve their stopover choices. 

The humans tell me we travelled through the Great Western Woodlands, which is the largest remaining area of intact Mediterranean climate woodland on Earth. Covering almost 16 million hectares (about the size of England), this continuous band of native vegetation is a rich tapestry of woodlands, mallee and shrublands. It extends across an ancient landscape of broad, flat valleys and ridges that connect Australia's south-west corner to its inland deserts.

However, it is a bit hard to see much from the back seat and I must admit I do doze off occasionally. 

Well the holiday is not all about me, so I might leave it at that. If you have questions for me just put them in the Comments sections.

      Hi Chops . You are thus far the best narrator . I feel you convey the reality on the ground. No glossing over the harsh landscape . Sticking with the harsh realities of survival in a hostile landscape. With only a small caravan between you and the elements. I know you were not part of the decision making for this trip. The caucus decided. I admire your courageous endurance. Lyn
