Outback Travels With Mike Whitney

I had the privilege of spending four days with Mick and Joanne up in Corner Country shooting a feature story for Sydney Weekender on Channel 7 in Sydney. To this day it is one of the highlights of my 13 years on the show.

Mick and Jo treated us like family – you certainly don’t go hungry. Memorable highlights were the clay pan of the Waka Plain and a very long ‘traditional’ Aussie night at the Family Hotel in Tibooburra.

We were also incredibly lucky because the rains came just before we arrived. This meant we got to experience first hand the red dirt of the desert coming to life with the full on colour of the desert flowers and of course flocks of budgerigars.

I can’t wait till Sydney Weekender gets out to Corner Country again, I’ll certainly be hooking up with Tri State Safaris.

Regards

Mike Whitney
