4x2'ing in the Outback


Wednesday, May 10, 2017

The trap line did not produce any items for the breakfast menu, but the peanut butter was gone.  After resetting the traps, we headed out for a loop around Flinders Ranges.  The drive down Bunyeroo Gorge was beautiful, and with any rain at all, only 4WD accessible.  With some initial fears expressed from the back seat, we managed to 4 X 2 through some small water flows in the river bed, and lots of rough roading.  The 30 km trek took about two hours, but was splendid.  We saw several groups of emus, and of course lots of kangaroos, including some big reds.  We had a lunch at Blinman and then back to the ranch.  Trap line again absent of peanut butter without any results.  Now we get serious and put out the sticky traps with a dab of peanut butter in the middle.  Within an hour we are rewarded and our mouse issue is hopefully solved.  At least the little guy got a couple of good last meals.
