Getting gear sorted .....

I cleaned my boots today, getting gear ready for trips to the Simpson Desert & the Canning Stock Route. I'll be going to Canberra for 10 days first, visiting an old friend from Uni days in Wellington. I'll be staying with my Aussie travelling friend, and getting our provisions sorted for the Simpson. 
The boots are sitting on the deck railing outside my hotel room - Anzac Hill is in the distance to the left.
