 THE LEAVING OF WOOP WOOP

I call this tree the Endurance tree, it epitomises for me what it takes to survive living in the harsh rugged outback. There it sits out in the desert standing firm, fighting back against whatever mother nature throws at it. The ability to survive the extreme heat of summer and the cold winter nights. This tree standing firm in such an unforgiving and arid land. I admire its ability to survive. Maybe Banjo cocking his leg up against the trunk helped? Each morning when we went for a walk there the tree stood, the morning sun casting its shadow. A long dead shingleback lizard bleached by the sun has always lay underneath. Ants working hard make their nest in the branches. It takes character to dig deep and set firm roots, but even more character to leave. You can only take so much, can't you

Its a shame as we made some fantastic friends during the three years we spent living in Woop Woop. But it's time to move on, time to go home to plan the next journey.

There's one thing for sure we don't miss living in the city, why even a small seaside town is too big. Living in a remote place, you get to learn whats' important and what's superfluous to life. The Kimberley, North Western Queensland who knows? Watch this space!
