"Orion" and I are off to the Top End in about five days. We have left plenty time for the 3200 km drive.

Adelaide
Barossa
Port Augusta
Cooper Pedy
Alice Springs
Tennant Creek
Maryvale
Arnhemland

Various other towns along the way. Four to five days of driving up the "Red Centre".

Then we will be with Graham Williams of Australian Buffalo Hunters at his Arnhemland camp. A couple water buffalo each, maybe a second each. I'm hoping for a nice scrub bull, looking to grand slam the Aussie Bovines, water bufalo, scrub bull and then oneday Banteng. Pigs as we come across them.

Graham has another American client and his wife there while we are there so it will be good to meet them as well.

After that hopefully we can meet up with some guys in Darwin. Whomever can make it for a shandy and prawns overlooking the harbour.

Have provisionally setup a station to the West for some pigs. The area is major floodplains and is reported to have lots of pigs. Maybe some magpie geese and ducks too. Will see if we can organise this but it is more than 50 percent likely.

A long drive home.

Taking a Canon Digital SLR plus a Canon Pro video camera. Lets see if I can learn the last one as we go.

Armaments. Orion is keen for his deadly "Karamojo" style Mannlicher in 6.5x54mm M-S to slay the bovines and boars. NitroX plans the .450 to get another look, plus maybe the 9.3 mm. Not squirrel rifle for me.

Hoping for lots of new photos and if we are lucky some hunt videos.
