In July (the middle of winter here in AU) I joined my friend Kris (Naivepom) for the first half of his trans-Australia roadtrip. We left from Townsville, QLD, heading west to the Northern Territory, south to Uluru, and finally north to the Darwin area. I flew back to Townsville on August 3rd...

Hi all, just thought some of you might want to see a side by side representation of a gillens and a storrs.
The mulga is a 3 year old male, and the Storrs is a 5 year old male. Took these photos when i just purchased the Storrs some time ago, have fattened it up considerably since then.
Cheers!
