I was driving my daughter to work twice a week in an area where the arid Mallee region meets the Murray River  (the main river in two states) so within a 10km diameter circle the landscape changes abruptly. Rather than go home, I'd spend her work day turning rocks and recording what I found. I'm fairly disabled so I didn't cover as much ground as you'd think but by stopping and starting the car every 100 meters or so I had a system going, plus why hurry when you're spending your day in the bush?</p></blockquote><p></p>
