Royal Border Bridge spans the River Tweed between Berwick-upon-Tweed and Tweedmouth in Northumberland, England. It is a Grade I listed railway viaduct built between 1847 and 1850, when it was opened by Queen Victoria.

On May 14th it was 68 years ago that the German Luftwaffe bombed the city center of Rotterdam. The ensuing fire destroid almost all of what remained of the old city. Just as the year before laser beams were used to mark the fire border, thus making clear the incredible damage this bombing caused.
My border collie, Indy, just after I finished washing off the soap from his bath. He doesn't hate bath time, but he does not look forward to it either. This black and white border collie would much rather snap at the water from the hose than let it get on him.

My friend's Border Collie is convalescing. Their vet put the dreaded plastic cone on him, so I brought over the soft e-collar that Petey wore post-op. It made such a difference: He had some of his freedom back, so immediately went and picked up a squeaky toy. Thanks to Harmonie66 for finding those online!
Mele was anxious for someone to throw the ball.

This was the first time I was ever in Mount Prospect in my life. Thanks for closing when gas is damn near $4 a gallon, Borders! What I've saved in markdowns I've spent on gas!
Added some borders to bring my 12" block up to pillow size... might keep going and make it even bigger (around 20" now).

For those of you who don't know, I just got back from a 22-day French television documentary shoot through the American West. I'll be uploading pix very soon.
The new wall has been built after a flood washed away the path. For more detail about Wallington go to: www.raywallingtonhall.blogspot.com/
I have literally thousands of photos from this trip. If any one wants more of a particular vehicle, let me know.
This is day 2, 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.
