Typecasting in the outback.


I took a bit of a drive further west of Charleville, and tried to set down and do a few typecasts, and perhaps write a couple of letters. The bonnet of my car can make an interesting desk. 

All photos can be clicked to enlarge them. 

 Seriously, they ain't kiddin'.



The Exxy gets a Typewriter supercharger. Typing here on here was quite fun. Except for the wind. 


Just a quick pose before I move on.

This road has been torn apart by mining activity and flood. There's actually a hint of the original sealed road here. 



This shot is quite spectacular at full resolution. I think I might make a poster out of it. 



Take my back to town, oh Ruby! 

Man.... I really need to refine my 'Its & It"s'. I swear, I do know better!

Coming up next.... The Royal Flying Doctor Service & The Morse Typewriter.

Loaded and ready to roll....


I'm off..... Of to Charleville.

So, I've picked a typer to go. It was a tough decision between all my machines, but the Quiet-riter wins out.

Sure, it's barely portable - but I'm not going trekking over any dunes and mountains, and through fiercely dense Rain Forests. No, it is sitting in the footwell just behind my drivers seat.

All the creative hardware I want with me on this occasions. 

And no, the Medium Format camera isn't bent. it is just distortion from my phone camera. 

I'm dropping a camper and their gear (a sh*tload of gear) out to a campsite at lake Sommerset on the way, so my stuff actually is very tightly bundled up in the Exxy at this stage. 

I also won't have mobile reception - and as such 3G reception till I get back at least as far as Roma, so I'm going to be largely off the grid for a little bit. 

So folks, see you when I'm back.

Catcha later! 

Have a great Day.
