I just read a recount of a trekk across Australia, was the first white men to do that back in the late 18 hundreds. They recorded some of the weather patterns and made mention they heard there were places than next to ever seen rain.

Probably the most unsung early explorer of Australia is Nathaniel (Bluey) Buchanan. Bluey did more to open up the unexplored regions than any other, and in doing so set records that still stand today, though there is very little literature covering his achievements. One story that comes to mind recounts Bluey and his mate exploring new county and running out of food, they resorted to boiling up their leather saddle bags and made a stew!
 
Tried to get a pic of my cat last night , not easy to do ! Not sure what she got into , but I need some !! Its the blur in front of the heater ! Never seen the midget so wound up !!??View attachment 476209

Our big Maine Coon was running about last evening, does this same time each evening, guess its an exercise thing for him. He accidentally ran into the wife`s heels/calfs from behind, knocked her over like a bowling ball hitting a candle pin...LOL
Wife wasn`t very happy with him...LOL

That big thing hitting at full speed is gonna knock anything over ! LOL My midget cat you barely know you got hit . LOL Now them dang needle like claws and teeth will hurt ya ! She keeps them very sharp too !
Having a bad problem with a big male cat here , goes after her every chance he gets . He got hold of her this afternoon right at the garage cat door . He has trouble getting through the cat doors , so didn't have to worry much , today he got half way in after her . He seen me and took off . Just can't understand why he goes after her ? Has never acted like this before with any other cats here , 2 other males even . I just don't know what to do with him , fraid he could hurt midget bad , hes better than twice her size . Never even heard of any cats acting like he does ? He tries his best to get her . Got my youngest searching for some answers .
 
Even stranger hes the most laid back cat around here , till he sees her . never bothers anyone or anything else . The big dumb dog here is his best buddy , even sleeps with the dog ! Kids can do anything to him , he don't care at all . One kid puts him over her shoulder and away they go . Just makes no sense why hes after the midget ?
Hes such a great cat with the kids here I can't fix him fer good .

Yeah, he`s got some weight to him and at speed he must hit pretty hard, I seen her fall and the cat jumping around her but really didn`t see him hit her but she fell like a sack of taters but didn`t get hurt any. Most problems with cats are territorial stuff. We have a midjet cat also, a female and she puts the big fellow in his place quite often, needle sharp claws n teeth. Big guy just wants to play but the midget is afraid of him cause he`s so big and really like a moose in a china shop personality when trying to play with other cats.

The journal I was reading was from the Burke and Willis expedition from 1860 - 1861. It was an overview with lots of entries from settlers and Aboriginies they met up with along their route starting on the South coast and ended on the North coast, they then turned back South but ran out of food and provisions and died. The team that was supposed to resupply them on the return journey failed to meet up, part of their team left for home before Burke and Wills made it back to the camp, they missed each other by just 9 hours, this link is just a description of the trip,
