PS Ruby and Marion cruise under the table lift bridge, Wentworth, NSW
On the 5th November 2017, historic Murray River paddle steamers, PS Ruby (Based at Wentworth, NSW) and visiting PS Marion (Based at Mannum, SA), travel under the table lift bridge out of Wentworth, NSW for a pleasant evening cruise up the Darling River.
Both vessels were celebrating their respective birthdays, PS Marion now 120 years old and PS Ruby 110 years old, and this cruise coincided with a weekend long event involving the two paddle steamers. PS Marion spent 13 days travelling upstream of the Murray River from its home port of Mannum, SA, to visit PS Ruby in Wentworth.
This is was the first time in as many years that both paddle steamers have traversed underneath the Wentworth table lift bridge to cruise up the Darling River.
For more information on both vessels, visit their respective websites:
PS Marion - Mannum, South Australia
PS Ruby - Wentworth, New South Wales

Join us as we take our first tag-along tour along the Darling river from Wentworth in the far south west of NSW where the Darling meets the Murray to the start of the Darling river where it is fed from the Barwon and Culgoa rivers. 4 days of driving, camping, beers and some good yarns.

We camped at Nelia Gaari on the west side of the Darling between Menindee and Wilcannia on the first night, big thanks to Greg and Lily (neliagaari.com.au), fantastic camp ground with great amenities. Here we meet Peter and Kylie that had our camp ovens and spit roast dinner on the go.

Massive 1000 hp Kenworth C510 with 5 trailer road train
These Massive 1000 horsepower Kenworth C510s at Burton Downs Mine are specifically designed for off-highway use and rated up to 250 tonne. They’re powered by Cummins’ 19-litre QSK-19 engine which complies with Australian on-highway emission requirements (ADR80). Designed primarily for high-end road train applications, the big-bore Cummins engine provides superior levels of durability and reliability than is currently available from smaller cubic capacity engines.
The engine delivers 606 hp (447 kW) at 2100 rpm, with peak torque of 1950 lb ft (2644 Nm) at 1300 rpm. Other key components include an 18-speed Fuller RTLO-22918B transmission, with a first gear ratio of 14.4:1 through to 0.73:1 in overdrive. Rear axles are Axle Tech STRC-1297 hub reduction (they’re the old Rockwell off-road model) with a final ratio of 9.59:1. The front axle is Rockwell FL941 rated at 9.1 tonne and the 295 mm deep chassis which has a far thicker web and flange than its highway cousins and features a full length double frame.
These power trailer units have a Smith built body on the power-trans chassis (they’re the company who built the power trailer unit) and they’re fitted with either Cummins ISX or Signature engines rated at 450 and 500 horsepower. They are coupled to an Allison automatic transmission and tri-drive SISU hub reduction axles.
The control of these trailers is via both a cab mounted hand throttle and married to the accelerator pedal. The advantage of this for instance is when the unit is climbing a hill the trailer can be set at full throttle and when the driver changes gear in the Kenworth C510 there is minimal road speed loss as the trailer is still pushing the unit.

Droopy's Fool is a very quick conveyance. I saw him trial after the last at Nowra about a month ago, solid first section without being great but the rest of the way around he was on fire, 29.88 he ran, the next best on the day was about 30.20 (in a race, but the winner led from whoa to go).

Australian farmers say drought eating away at land like cancer
From ground level, Australia's drought looks like a featureless, brown dustbowl, but from the air it transforms into an artistry of colour and texture as the land cracks open under a blazing sun.
Circular dry plough tracks resemble the concentric circles in Aboriginal dot paintings which tell of an ancient mythology, starving cattle queuing for feed look like an abstract painting with their black shadows stretching across the land a surrealist image.
But for Ashley Whitney there is no such beauty, just blood, sweat and tears as he struggles to feed his cattle, cutting the drying branches of Kurrajong trees -- a last resort during the worst of droughts.
A despairing Whitney said the drought feels like it could be around for a while. His property -- near the town of Gunnedah on the Liverpool Plains -- usually fertile plain, is now withered having received the lowest average rainfall in more than 25 years.
Cattle farmers Margo and Tom Wollaston are afraid of what this drought will mean for their children, who aim to take over the running of the 2,300-hectare (5,600 acre) property when they hang up their boots.
Margo said droughts have a very negative impact not only on her family, but the whole farming community around the nearby town of Tamworth in northwest New South Wales (NSW) state.
I find droughts a little bit like cancer - it sort of eats away at you, she said.
The Australian Bureau of Meteorology said parts of Australia experienced the second-warmest summer (December-February) on record in the past year and had also just been through one of the driest and warmest autumns (March-May) on record.
Still, for the farmers struggling to water their charges, the dry spell -- which has left over 80 percent of NSW in drought according to Department of Primary Industries -- looks to be a prolonged and dusty road.

The Australian Silo Art Trail - Ep.33
Our track down to Melbourne.
Well, after Renmark, we crossed our third state border! ???? We trekked east and down to Werrimull Hotel, to celebrate with a mid-morning beer. Fun Fact: Werrimull is Victoria’s most outback pub. ???? After polishing off our schooner, we continued on to Curlwaa Caravan Park, to set up for 2 nights so we could explore the surrounds.
Technically we were actually just inside of NSW but we aren’t classing this as one of our border crossings. ???? Our first stop for the day was out to the Perry Sandhills,. It felt like we were back in the Simpson dessert here, all the red sand hills were magnificent. If you ever visit, look for the monster gum tree which has been buried beneath all the sand. ????
We then trekked back into Wentworth, to get some history lessons. Visiting both the Wentworth Pioneer Museum and the old historic Wentworth Gaol. It only cost us $13 each to visit both and have a good wander around. The gaol was a definite highlight, we’d never seen an old ‘gaol’ ???? & it was still in amazing condition considering its age. We then drove down and had a peak at the junction of the Murray river and the Darling Downs.
Before returning to camp, we swung into ‘The Big V Industries Auto Museum’ ???? for a look around. If you have a love for cars, then it is definitely worth the $5 entry to see some absolute classics. A relatively new museum, the owner said he is always trying to improve his displays and add vehicles to the collection, where he can.
Temperatures ???? during the day were still pretty hot and with an approaching heatwave coming (40’+ days), we made tracks to Mildura. We opted to stay at the Buronga-Riverside Caravan Park, which turned out be a great choice. It was the most dog friendly ???? van park we had stayed at - all trip! They had a free dog bath onsite as well as a FREE dedicated washing machine to wash any pet blankets/beds etc. It was a great park with plenty on offer. Two different swimming pools, a few farm animals, it backed right onto the Murray river and was a well laid out park. There were numerous ducks and geese wandering the grounds, some would even talk back to us. ????????
After a blissful 5 night stay, we continued on our journey. We tracked south and eventually made it to Patchewollock – and saw our first silo painting! ???? Just down the road, we found a great free camp at Lake Lascelles. A great spot for an overnight spot. ⛺️ The next day, we continued the drive south and checked out all the other Silo paintings on the trail.
We visited 5/6 silo’s, on the Silo Art Trail.
Patchewollock, Rosebery, Brim, Sheep Hills & Rupanyup. We missed Lascelle’s on this trip.
So after seeing the Silo Art Trail, we cut straight east to Kooyoora State Park. We camped at the Melville Caves designated camp site for 2 nights. ⛺️ This was a free camp - winning. Surprisingly dogs were welcome in the state park and allowed at the campsite (on leash, of course). ???? We trekked up to the Melville Caves at sunset, which was only a short walk from camp.
30km south we headed to Mount Alexander Koala Park to camp. What a gem of a spot this was. So nice and peaceful, a free camp, plenty of shade, dogs allowed, flushing toilets and fire pits ???? around the grounds.
It was the Australia day weekend, so we just bunkered down here for a few nights, as we knew everywhere would be busy. We did venture down the road to a local swimming hole for a dip & fish ????. Kurt caught a few red-fin fish while we splashed about with some beers in hands. A nice chilled arvo.
After the mad rush of the long weekend was over, we headed into Maldon, for 2 nights. We stayed at the Maldon Caravan Park and used this as a base ???? while we explored the surrounds. We checked out Maldon’s old British ruins, the Mt Tarrengower lookout, the old dredge and walked along the old streets. It definitely feels like a step back in time in this place. Everyone was so helpful and inviting which made our time here more enjoyable.
We were edging so close to Melbourne, being only 75 minutes north. We had made plans for the coming week with I (Amz) booked to go home for the weekend to see family & friends, while Kurt agreed to baby sit Rusty and have some ‘kurt time’ (fishing???? & gaming galore????).
Before tracking into Melbourne to set up, we did visit ‘The Cascades’ at Coliban River and visited Turpins Falls on the journey down.

Q&A Bonus Question: Screen Diversity | 19 February 2018
Monday, 19 February 2018
The Question: I am American and in the US, with the release of movies like Black Panther and A Wrinkle In Time, there has been a lot of discussion around the importance of representation. But I’ve been surprised that, in Australia, with all its debates around “Australia Day” and Acknowledgment of Country, seems to have very little diversity in its film, TV, or general media industry. Why is this such an issue here and what do you believe should be done to change that?
What do you think?

Q&A is a television discussion program that focuses mostly on politics but ranges across all of the big issues that set Australians thinking, talking and debating.
It is driven by interaction: Q&A provides a rare opportunity for Australian citizens to directly question and hold to account politicians and key opinion leaders in a national public forum and Q&A is broadcast live so that not only the studio audience but also the wider audience can get involved.
We aim to create a discussion that is constructive, that reflects a diverse range of views and that provides a safe environment where people can respectfully discuss their differences.
It’s impossible to represent every view on a single panel or in one audience but we’re committed to giving participants a fair go.
In order to be as inclusive and diverse as possible, the program is presented from a range of locations around the country and all Australians are encouraged to get involved through social media as well as by joining the audience.

Katoomba, New South Wales, Australia
Katoomba is the largest and best-known town in the Blue Mountains region of the Australian state of New South Wales. Katoomba is located 106 km to the west of Sydney and lies 1,017 m above sea level.
Katoomba developed as a popular mountain resort town in the early 20th century, a process aided by the advent of regular train services along the current line. The town reached an early heyday in the period between the wars, attested to today by the numerous examples of art deco architecture and shop fronts along the main street of the town. Today it serves as the main base for the mountains. It has the most shops with all the supplies you need, tourist offices, motels, restaurants and even some nightlife. However, it has lost the quaint village charm to Leura, its neighbour.
The Scenic Skyway and Scenic Railway have been part of a visit to the Blue Mountains for as long as any Sydneysider can remember. The scenic railway is closed for renovations, and will be replaced entirely on new track. The scenic railway is a really steep caged railway, and gives quite a thrill. The front seat is best if you can get it. The scenic cableway is much more sedate as descends down into the forest, and although it is common to do the railway down and the cableway back, if you want to enjoy the ride and not just the view, you'll have more fun just taking the railway both directions. Down in the valley you can walk on boardwalks along in the rainforest, the avalanche and see some mining remnant artifacts. There can be crowds on weekends, but you'll still get on okay.
Bushwalking in the valleys, including longer walks to the Ruined Castle and Mount Solitary. Watch out for large, noisy lyrebirds scratching up food on the ground. If you're not prepared for bushwalking in the mountains, stick to walks along the cliff base, or connect with a guide. Good shoes, a bottle of water and some sun protection are highly recommended.
