Saphire to Emerald

 A very short relocation today, only about 50 Klm to Emerald, where we had a major restock of food as we were out of just about everything.

We are once again in the free camp under the railway bridge at the botanical gardens, where we have stopped a couple of times before on various trips. A very handy but noisy location. Tomrrow we will probably make it to Moura via a stop at Virgin rock. We will have to start doing some longer runs or it will take us years to get home.

Rocko met a few dogs here at the gardens but they were all quite ugly, none were as handsome as our Fabio of the dog world. Even though these dogs were as ugly as a hat full of arseholes Rocko did not discriminate & happily played with any of them, which just showed how thoughtful he is.

I took this pic with my right hand while feeding them with my left. Taken at our 2 night camp in Saphire at the gem fields. Please not this is specially formulated bird feed designed for parrots, I would NEVER feed them bread.
