A Morning at the Clay Pans, June 19th

I took the kids out to the clay pans a couple weeks ago now that
the weather is so gorgeous. A few months ago, we had a lot of rain
and we went out to go "swimming" in the muddy water (water was up
to our knees.) The water has mostly dried up -- leaving a huge
flat area that's perfect for bike riding. We hung out for the morning
and had a great time.

I took a picture of the abandoned van (that was not there a few months
ago). It's pretty common for cars to be stolen here in town just for
the fun of it. Kids/young adults (I assume) drive them around
and smash them or burn them up -- then abandon them outbush.
It's pretty common to see cars like this when you head outbush:
