Man those hot showers in the shearing quarters were like absolute heaven after sitting in that muddy paddock for two days, and the shearing shed, all nice and dry was like a five star hotel! Man we had a ball there the night before we left!

Ash was a sorry arsed dude the next day!

Yep theres no way I would go away for 2weeks in the mud with out these facilities. As most days where finished covered in mud. Also having a station owner who is a top bloke also helps.

Sure was a top bloke, couldn't believe he came back with all that lamb, we were all stoked.....and beers! No wonder my head hurt the next day!

How do you guys post photos, I have a couple from Nundooka after the rain, maybe some would like to see them? PM me with the clues.

Thanks, Verena Joyce[/url]

Hi Verena, we were chatting at Nyngan on the way home in the truck stop, hows the move to QLD treating you? All good I hope!

Hey with the photos, you need to upload them to an online photo site, like www.photobucket.com then copy and paste the links into the text you write.

Or you can email them to me and I am happy to upload them for you in a few minutes. my email is pberetta@tpg.com.au

Cheers, Paul

Here's a couple of pics courtesy of Verena Joyce (Full Noise).

This is taken out behind the woolshed at Nundooka.

The pics above and below are of the Nundooka Creek which spectators who have camped at Nundooka would have crossed in previous years

Cheers, The Fish

Thanks, Fish. I had no idea posting photos took so much technical knowhow - I'll stick to the GPS!!! We would like to say too how much we enjoyed the (short) week and our group (D). Amazing how every year you always get the best group and how everyone reckons the same. That's what you go back for (oh, and a bit of 4wdriving!!)
Western NSW had more rain this week, White Cliffs has had 4 1/2" total now, so it will be looking fantastic out there now.

So who from the OBC is coming to Cliffhanger.

Post by **The Fish** » Tue Jun 05, 2007 7:19 pm

Had heard there was a few teams running Garmin Chartplotter GPS's this year and they had some detailed mapping software running on them. Can anybody shed some light on what mapping software they were using?

Cheers, The Fish

Yeah we'll be there again Todd... Looking forward to it Big time!.. Shame Greenie's not coming though. We had a ball trying to catch you guys last year.

Fish - I heard that there are topo's out now for Oz in the Garmins, is that what you're thinking of, I haven't bothered to look into it yet. Given how flat some of the nav paddocks were, they might not have been the detail you've heard of ?? Cheers, Verena

i might have to come up and watch i think. had a ball last year but with only 1 week between cliffhanger and 2nd round of engel (ateco) just wasnt possible to compete. hopefully next year 1 will have 2 cars running so this problem doesnt happen again!!

Easy for RN to catch you when you are upside down.
