Golf in the desert. The greens were lacking, the sand abundant, and water traps relentless. Play was interrupted when a Ute drove down the fair way, and concluded before the second hole when I managed to lose both our golf balls. We snuck Willow in for a photo. Golf cat?

Willow surveys her kingdom from her royal barrel.

Peekaboo Willow! For an adventure cat you sure are lazy..

Hanging out at the hotel in Bedourie

Tree poses at Carcoory Bore. The water comes out of the earth at 85c. Further down the water is perfect for a swim. Like a bath!

We got a taste of the Simpson desert 35km West of Birdsville.

Happiness is chilling with your cat in the desert.

Now leaving Birdsville for Bedourie, Queensland. Going to take it really slow and spend a few quiet nights without reception along the way. See you all soon!

Paris. New York. Birdsville. Willow, you are a supermodel! We are enjoying our time in this desert town. Though tonight there has been thunder and lightning. Just our luck – we go to the desert and it rains! Oh well, we are safe and dry in our van.
