Harley Jones - Part 3 - Zebra Rock, Roos, Horses, River runs, No airstrip, State of the roads, Heat impact, Women.
In this podcast Harley, in conversation with Lisa Rickert, talks about exploring the area around the camp. He found a cave full of zebra rock, which he later discovered was blown apart. He also used to go out shooting for roos. He also recalls an aboriginal camp where they had four horses, which they were allowed to ride. He remembers when the river ran and their food truck became bogged - the grog was the first thing rescued! He can't recall an airstrip at the Homestead, but he does describe the very poor state of the roads, which were really just tracks. He vividly remembers the heat on Mt Whaleback and the impact it had on the workers, especially as they wore minimal clothing. There were no women on the camp, apart from some Church visitors and some other "girls and a gentleman" who paid a visit!!
