Diamintina Driving
In the 1980s I sang Diamintina Drover with the rest of the audience at Mt Isa Irish Club on Sunday nights.
Today I sang Diamintina Drover in the channel country of the Diamintina River as I drove the dusty road near Old Cork station.

Gargett in the Pioneer Valley
Once in the school holidays I took the train from Mackay to Gargett to stay with my cousins.
It's a small town with a free camp site.
There is also a great second-hand shop. The shop has good collection of old radios and sells electronic valves.
