Comeroo - Outback Camping

Comeroo is about 150km north of Bourke, out in the middle of nowhere and has become a family favourite of ours.

It is an 100,000 acre working property, with friendly hosts Bruce & Chris and a lovable dog, Ralph. There are always new animals for the kids to feed, pat or play with and plenty of Yabbies in the dam for Stephen to catch. Last trip we enjoyed a camel wagon ride to the letterbox and back - it was very entertaining at every gate. Stephen kindly offered to open and close the gate not knowing the run he then had ahead of him as Bruce would get the camels "galloping" as fast as they would go! We also went on a self guided 4WD trip accross the property - got ourselves very lost but enjoyed the exploration much the same and took quite a few nice photos.

I love the 24 hour fire, the sunsets and the peace. Stephen - the artesian bore, yabblies and finding something new on each visit. The kids - feeding the animals, Ralph and exploring. We all enjoy the friendly hospitality and can't wait to get there again.

June Long Weekend 4WD Day

What a fabulous June long weekend. The last 3 years has been torrential rain... I remember them well since hiring camper trailers - and drying them all!

This year we spent the Saturday four wheel driving around the Watagan's area. We had 7 vehicles and 27 kids all up!!! We found a lovely place for a BBQ lunch - Boarding House Dam in the Watagans National Park. There is a bush walk, water falls, BBQ's and plenty of space for the 27 kids to enjoy themselves - which they did!

Thank you to the Dehoogh family for this top photo! I wasn't in the car, the girls where screaming and our son, Daniel... well his face says it all - no fear.

Many thanks to Andrew & Leanne for a great day out.
