Indy is very good near distressed sheep, he stops and waits for me to catch up. Would have missed it if Indy hadn't noticed. See next photo.

I have literally thousands of photos from this trip. If any one wants more of a particular vehicle, let me know.
This is day 1, trip along the Border Track - Dog Fence.
This must be one of the best sand tracks to be found in Victoria/South Australia. It follows the border from near Pinnaroo right down to near the Melbourne - Adelaide hwy.
This track has very large sand hills to get over. Most of these hills have tracks to get around them if you are not able to get over them. Some of these hills are so extreme there's no way anyone will get over them, so this track can very easily be classed as a 'Difficult' track.
Very Important. Check with the SA National Parks and Reserves for information on when the track is closed, and what direction you need to go in.
The track is about 107km. Allow a full day to make this trip. For a more enjoyable weekend, take your time and camp anywhere along the track. Stop in or camp at Red Bluff - scenic red sandstone hill.
(This is where we stopped). Dress warm though as it gets hot in the day, freezing at night.
Make sure you pack all your recovery gear, and travel in a group with other 4wd's. (We had to recover 2 vehicles).
Check the depths of the mud holes. Some for us were over 1 meter deep. Watch out for the holes towards the end, they are really deep!
Momentum is your friend on the sand dunes. We used 15psi tyre pressures. (Try the sand dunes 3x, if you fail, take the chicken path)
We ended up getting lost around the supposed turnoff to red bluff, that according to the maps was "well signposted".
We ended up with broken eggs and bottles.
This is mostly a sandy track with dunes and provides you with a remote location for testing self and equipment without travelling deeper into the outback.
The environment is typical Victorian desert – Mallee country. Expect some scratching from Mallee scrub particularly in the Wyperfeld section and some parts of the Northern Border Track may be overgrown. Soft sand is to be found on the tracks as well as corrugations and hard gravel.
The border track is steeped in history largely due to the dispute which arose from the original survey completed between 1847 and 1850. The result is that the border is actually sighted some 3kms too far West. A fascinating account of this can be obtained from John Deckert at Westprint Heritage Maps if you manage to visit whilst in Nhill.
There is an abundance of wildlife to enjoy whilst undertaking this trip, so watch out for Emu and Kangaroo. Aboriginal rock holes can be found close to the junction with South Bore Track.
We were lucky to reach the top speed of 40 kms/hr.

An entry for the Challenge Group 115 pictures in 2015 No.21 Spade. and also for our camera club monthly project - The Garden
I have found photographing something to represent 'The garden, or Gardening' and a a spade in particular, a challenge in all respects. This shot, taken with a fairly wide angle, is of a wonderful little stainless steel border spade (we also have the matching fork) given to my wife by her godmother Evelyn, many years ago when age and disability forced Evelyn to give up gardening.
The spade is in one of our flower borders in front of a red Scabious plant, with the flower heads moving slightly in the breeze, giving a slight blur effect. I have desaturated the greens and yellows and enhanced the reds for my offering. The original SOOC shot is in the first comment box below.

An East Coast High Speed Train crosses the Royal Border Bridge as it arrives at Berwick upon Tweed with the 15.00 Kings Cross to Edinburgh Waverley service. The train won't actually cross the border into Scotland until Marshall Meadows, 3 miles to the north of Berwick.
Silver Efex, that is. This is the original conversion minus the Topaz tone and the Perfect Effects 8 'Dirty Viewfinder' border. Trying for that dark and spooky look.
