We arrived back at Bullara on Monday 7th September ready to get down & dirty.
They had already done some mustering & cattle was ready for the road train, so that all took a few days to get organised & Bob helped out.
I was still on tourist duties, as we had a few people in shearer’s quarters, but the wind was up & no sooner had I cleaned everything & there was red dust on the dunnies & bathrooms. BUGGER!!!
The helicopter arrived the following Monday & it was action stations from 6.30am. Bob & my job was to take the AV gas out to the paddock where the water tank was.
The bull basher that Bob was driving had NO brakes, NO side windows, NO door locks - just a piece of wire to hold it closed, NO roof - just piece of ply wood to give us some shade. We did have a windscreen, a rusted out floor & great big piece of concrete in back tray to keep the back weighed down!!!!
