G'day guys,

My pop is one of those eccentric grey nomads...his 4x4 and caravan are worth more than my last house!

Earlier this year he drove from Brisbane to Alice Springs via the Simpson Desert, and then went and did the Canning Stock Route. It was in winter, but he still managed to find the following...

Photo 1 - Nephrurus levis sp. As you can tell by my pops hands, he's worked hard all his life!

Photo 2 - Gehrya sp. Was found active during the day?

Photo 3 - Mulga Snake Pseudechis australis that lives permanently in the well. Apparently it's being there for 7 years and can't get out.

Photo 4 - The sign above the well.

Good to see the interest runs in the family and I'm envious of his trip!
