You think it’s hot here? Well, let me tell you … Thinking I’d get in a little excursion out west while it was still the nominal Spring, I set off on Monday for Hattah/Kulkyne. Drove straight there (9 hours) thinking I’d catch up on other spots of interest on the way back. I did slow down going by Sandra’s Superb Parrot patch past Narrandera. No massed Superbs – wrong time of day. I did glimpse the odd Superb along the road during the trip, but you’d probably see more at Belconnen Golf Course on an average afternoon. At Hattah, I did notice that it was a BIT WARMER than Canberra. Moreover, I had the extensive Lake Mournpall campground to myself except for a trio of rabbiting contractors on quad bikes. One sign of a true bush campground was a ball of steel wool that had no doubt been use to scour out the remains of an Irish Stew from a blackened cast-iron pot. This was providing great entertainment for a pair of juvenile Pied Butcherbirds …
