Day 155: Robe River Rest Area

Hi All, we have left Indee Station today after 7 weeks of helping out, it was a great experience and we'd both go back someday.  We were cleaning the ammenities, making beds and cleaning the dongas helping with the meals for the men that were staying on the property, Nev was also keeping the generators running for the power and any other job Colin could think of including changing tyres on rims, fixing windmills and watering the gardens and trees.
We met some really nice people and some strange, one couple came in to stay in the camp area and they are travelling around the world on the back of a motorcycle which the guy has built a canopy for and they have all their gear stowed in every possible place on the bike, there was no wasted space.  Another couple are travelling around Australia and supporting themselves with coin detector that theyuse on parks, reserves, football fields, rodeo grounds and basiclly anywhere people congregate, they have found enough in the first 4 months to pay for the unit ($1400.00) pay their rego & insurance and for repairs to their vehicle ($2000.00) not to mention how much jewellery and watches they have found, not bad for a couple of pensioners.
One of the jobs I had @ Indee was to hand feed a couple of calves, I named the Matty & Sammy, there is also a donkey called wonkey donkey and an unknown number of geese & ducks.

Wonkey was given to Colin & Betty as a wedding present as they already had every thing they needed

Thats all for tonight as I'm getting tired, hopefully we will have signal again tomorrow and I'll be able to continue our travelling history.
