There was significant rain a week ago so many areas still have standing water.<br /><br />We have searched the area of the Bulloo River near Quilpie and many areas here are still either very mushy or under water. There is nothing obviously in bloom near the river that could feed bees but it is not far to where a couple of species of Eromophila are blooming.<br /><br />We plan to drive to Adavale tomorrow and will check the Bulloo River area again the next day. Please let me know if you suddenly have any flashes of memory about the area where you photographed the Amegilla in 2009.<br /><br />Thanks in anticipation.Linda Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11792444055947152991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-859101048258211402.post-39558317691430818392014-06-07T10:39:45.903+10:002014-06-07T10:39:45.903+10:00Love your photos!Love your photos!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-859101048258211402.post-12767036471999172582014-02-08T12:58:51.836+10:002014-02-08T12:58:51.836+10:00Hi David

Without knowing th...I climbed Mt Barney 4 days ago. Without knowing this guy or saying either way whether he did or didn't climb to the peaks, I just want to comment on the picture. <br /><br />Seeing it at first (and without a photo from my own camera taken from the same view to compare to) I am reasonably certain that is a view of the east peak, as taken from the west peak about 1/3rd of the way up (over the initial ridge just before it starts getting hard, about where the first rock wall is).<br /><br />The west peak has no ancillary peaks off it (as seen on the left of the photo) whereas the east peak does. The west peak also has a very distinctive 'melted cone' look. Either way this is not taken from the top, as both peaks are within 8 meters of one another. Even adjusting for a slant in angle you can still see the peak beyond is much higher.<br /><br />In terms of time to climb? I'm pretty fit. I didn't mess around and did from the Lodge campsite (15 mins out from the Yellow Pinch car park) to both peaks and back again in 9 hours, 50 mins. It took me 2 hours from the Peasant's Ridge turnoff to get to the saddle, and (ignoring a small break) 1 hour from there to the east peak, or 50 mins from there to the west. It took about the same time to descend back to Rum Jungle and about 1 hour 25 mins to get back to the turnoff.<br />Basically, breaks aside, if I had gone straight to the east peak and back (from the turnoff) I would have come in around 5:25.<br /><br />Could I have shaved an hour off that? Yes, I'd say it is possible, but I would have busted a gut in the process, have torn my skin off in the bush, and be sweaty, beetroot red and covered in filth.<br /><br />That's not what I'm seeing in the photo.Dr Nonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-859101048258211402.post-56339100771538517862012-03-24T15:12:57.351+10:002012-03-24T15:12:57.351+10:00Best info.
