Some of the 4000 sheep ready for marketDay 74
We wake to the sound of sheep baa-ing and Alan says the sheep truck has arrived to take 4000 head to market!! He insists they need a bit of help so goes over to the sheep yards about 100 metres away and gives his expert assistance. I leave him to it and enjoy my bed tea....what???? Well I’d just get in the way!!! Anyway, I’ll leave it to the experts!! He returns with lots of photos and stories and says I wouldn’t have been any good anyway as there were lots of cute tiny lambs that were bleating for their mums and he was worried we may have ended up with a couple of the little fellas in our back seat!! We head back to Carnarvon and decide we will stay here at the Wintersun C.P. 1 night and regroup before heading west to Kennedy Range and Mt. Augustus National Parks tomorrow. Till then, we catch up on washing clothes and cars and restocking the larder and water, fuel etc.
