This looks like the prettiest ride of your tour.

Ah, glad you got your flight sorted. We were worried how the situation may affect you. Brilliant photos and a very interesting trip.

So many hostels these days are so slick and sophisticated and, consequently, are often rather soulless and cost more than a hotel room. This hostel was focused on hikers and retains a simplicity with which I can identify but at the same time has a bit of character of its own.

Or YHA's in by gone days.

Thanks Scott.

What a fantastic gallery of livestock shots!

I hadn't thought of postage stamps. My first thought was a patchwork quilt.

Leigh says "thank you!".

Happy Birthday, Leigh!

That’s really interesting. They look like postage stamps.

In South Africa we say "'n boer maak 'n plan" which translates as "a farmers makes a plan" suggesting that we should always find a way to solve a problem. However I'm not sure what we would have done if it wasn't for the pile of dried reeds.

Enterprising!

Rugby Union is very much a minor sport here in Oz.
In Queensland and New South Wales the game is Rugby League which is played in schools and junior clubs as well as the professional game.
In the other States Australian Rules is the game. I would not be surprised if there were more playing Soccer than Rugby Union here so basically we are punching well above our weight in Rugby Union which is why we seldom beat the All Blacks.

I suspect you have two horses in this race :-)

Go the Boks!
