Tingha trip

We had a lovely trip to Tingha over the weekend. It was very cold up there, we had a big frost on Sunday morning.

We had a good chance to catch up with the extended McCann family and spent quality time with Adam’s grandparents. They always have great stories to tell. There’s no mobile reception in Tingha and the surrounding areas, which on the one hand is terrible but on the other is actually quite nice.

We went 4 wheel driving on the land Adam’s folks used to lease from the crown to run cattle on, and we saw some kangaroos hopping around in the bush. We also saw a fox. There’s a few old blokes who live in caravans in the bush, and as we drove past them we counted around 15 cats sitting around the caravans. These people have lived there for years and years, no-one seems to mind.

Close by, there’s the remains of an old fireplace from the house where Adam’s grandfather lived as a kid, we took a photo which I will post up later.
