2008 was a year of many trips. Looking back, I have no idea how I managed to take so much time off work. I started in Western Australia, spent the Autumn mostly in Western Victoria, then made two winter trips to south-west Queensland, staying many days at the magical old Bowra Station. Spring found me in lovely south-east New South Wales. Come Summer, an area I had passed through many times on the way to to somewhere else, always promising myself I'd go and visit it properly one day - South Australia's Mid North. It was more than worth the wait.
