At the beginning of the Eromanga trip The Doc drove from Ballina to his mate’s place at Stanthorpe. He stayed two nights and got to ride in Tony’s Ford 350 – wow what a great tow vehicle!

The next morning The Doc was just touring around Stanthorpe and found the Mt Marlay Lookout. Just a few images from the Lookout. Click on that first panorama, because at full size it has amazing details.

The Doc really liked Stanthorpe and for the first time since switching to part time work, thought about moving out of Sydney.

We had lunch at the Jam Factory and later that day Tony took The Doc to Donnellys Castle Recreations Reserve. Plus a few textures from the reserve.

Tony made a great choice to live in Stanthorpe, part of the Granite Belt. The Doc will be back.

The Doc’s friend Steve Young got special permission to visit Buckaroola Station. These images are from the second visit, as The Doc forgot to put his memory card into his camera during the first visit! Buckaroola Station is westward out of Eromanga along the Cooper Developmental Road and is not open to the public.

The Doc’s main theme for images in 2022 was barks and then flowers as Spring arrived. Over 6,000 images were posted to the Atlas of Living Australia in 2022. Consulting work prevented any travel, even after many of the lock downs stopped.

The first trip for 2023 is booked, Foray with Friends at Dorrigo on the mid north Coast of NSW. The theme will be fungi’s and slime molds. There is some consulting work to finish at the end of January then The Doc has more flexibility, once the final work on the Patrol is finished in mid-January.
