Home in the rain

We left the warm weather around Tennant Creek, the cloud cover came in near Glendambo, the rain started at Port Augusta, and we thought about turning round and going back up north but we had too many commitments. Home now for a while before we go east to NSW for a couple of weeks.

The pic shows the outback south of Coober Pedy where we stopped for lunch and a leg stretch. Click on the pic to see a bigger version. Total time to get from Darwin to home was 6 days, with the Alice Springs to Cadney Station being the longest section. What we will do for a Cadney burger!

Singapore

The pic shows trophy table at the Singapore Trials. The trials were held under cover at a shopping centre. Dogs were not allowed in the shopping area but there was a big area under a roof with cool air blown on it, but there were no walls. Some very good dogs with good scores, and a Golden Retriever winning the top class. Some may say it is Kennel Blindness, but the Golden really was the top dog. Some hard luck stories, with dogs missing one exercise, and a few dogs that did not cope with the noise and atmosphere at the venue.

The Agility trials were in a dog park so there were non competing dogs roaming about but the ring was fenced well. Lots of good dogs with skilled handlers, but as with all trials, there were a fair number of bars knocked and things going wrong. Very hot and humid, glad to get back to the air-conditioned hotel.

Going back to Darwin tonight.
