Up at 5:30 - not recommended. Plan was to head out as soon as possible and use all daylight available to vet controls (currently marked with pretty pink tape). Snag was that maps were supposed to be printed + delivered but were not. Did that at my work shortly after 6am.
Weather delightful, we stopped for breakfast on a small hill and to admire the view. Saw some interesting rocks, a dam full of algae and some fabulous gum trees. Am hoping to have my camera back by the 11th to photograph a gully we set a control in - so pretty.
Got most of our vetting done by nightfall with one to set and four to vet. Kangaroos tried to play 'chase' with the car but we resisted. Decided to wait for moonrise and continue. The stars were spectacular: saw a few shooting stars and watched the moon slowly rise on the horizon. Still too dark, camped and finished the rest the next day. Home to wash everything and demand an expensive cafe cook us breakfast. Am bloody tired but pleased.
Found a beautiful large feather, saw an eagle take off nearby - wondering if it's a wedge-tail.
ED: Turns out there were many ticks out there.
