Sounds like your best bet is to get Ingo to play the game - maybe you could show him my blog so he realises it is his DUTY to play - and WIN!

Seems to me every 'group' situation is allocated a 'camp bore'! In a small way they can be entertaining in their ability to get people talking. Absolutely love the dingo pictures, did not know they ate fish.. Seeing your images and knowing you don't have a fancy big camera always reaffirms my belief in the skill of the photographer not the equipment they use.

It's a VERY easy landscape to photograph ...<br />@Sallie - At least I can look back and laugh at the Camp Bore!! AND pay him back by writing about him with the sure knowledge that even if he DOES stumble across my blog, he won't recognise himself!<br />@FruitCake - Yep, these folks sure had a bad case of the 'thingies'!!!!<br />@Jill - Hahaha, every trip there's at least one BAD night!! Ours was at Timber Creek where some drunken loser in a van next to us simultaneously played Elvis on his car stereo and Redgum in the van. But I think I'd almost rather him than your student group!!!<br />@Jerry - Thank you!<br />@Greg - I look forward to seeing what fiascos emerge from your Larapinta experience. As for National Backhander Day, I think it'd work as an election platform!!!!Red Nomad OZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03020668094026661054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6941762653108707029.post-17950585187238616192013-02-18T17:16:46.979+10:302013-02-18T17:16:46.979+10:30@Andrew - Spam gone now!

I guess not paying for a shower frees up your cash for other essentials like alcohol!!<br />@Kath - Cool, my work is done!! The whole region really IS worth a visit - but OG is our favourite place in it!! And just think what I'M missing - snow, cold and rich Genevans!!! I'll leave it to you to decide which of us has the better deal ...<br />@LONDONLULU - Yeah, I know! But it's nice to have the affirmation!!<br />@darlin - The first trip anywhere is often just a reconnaisance trip! It was for us, and now after several years, we returned to 'do' it properly!<br />@Iris - I'm sure there IS a story behind the piano - but I don't know what it is! You'll have to find out for me!! And that's why I'm here - lots of guidebooks focus on the big attractions (because that's what most people want to see). I just tell you where I've been and what I liked & you can decide for yourself if you want to see it!<br />@SFlaGuy - Tile store, huh! Your blog shows you took a bit of a detour via a mud bath full of hot chicks!!
