- these dear little ground dwelling birds
- the size of a mouse with ridiculously long tail feathers that look like emu feathers
- also live in Whaler's Way
There's, seriously, possibly, only around 50 of them left, due to bushfires and loss of habitat.

This awesome photograph of the Southern Emu Wren was taken by Arj and is an absolute cracker.

It's hard to achieve an image of this bird that clearly depicts the signature tail feathers.

We've spent the last couple of years walking and crawling through snake infested vegetation (yep, Arj tripped over a tiger snake) to try & get a photograph of this unique bird. To see this bird out from the safeness of the thick vegetation is rare.

Congratualtions Arj, your efforts have paid off.

Ep advocate newspaper reports that Southern Launch will use 10 of German company's HyImpulse SR75 rocket motors to lift payloads of up to 600 kgs to low earth orbit from their Koonibba Test range and possibly from Whaler's Way in the future. Article also says that the HyImpulse launch campaign is subject to regulatory approval. Video of the rocket motor being tested.

We are thrilled to share with you the latest news from HyImpulse regarding our first product and technology demonstrator, the suborbital sounding rocket SR7...

Concerning that this could have happened (and could still happen) when Southern Launch attempted to launch the Ti-Space rocket from inside Whalers Way. Very similar setup and situation.

"Aussie Towns"
Says nice things about Eyre Peninsula!!

"The Eyre Peninsula – The Country’s Best Kept Secret.........

The Eyre Peninsula has everything. Superb food – ranging from truly great seafood restaurants in Port Lincoln; outstanding, dramatic and endlessly beautiful rugged coastline; great fishing destinations; unusual things to see ranging from the sea lions at Point Labatt through inselbergs known as Murphy’s Haystacks to the vast salt lake that is Lake Gairdner and the vertical formations known as the Organ Pipes in the Gawler Ranges.

It is one of the few places on the continent where you could easily spend a fortnight and not exhaust the attractions. You could stay in classy accommodation, eat like a king (or queen) and gasp, over and over again, at the unspoilt beauty of the entire peninsula.

Eyre Peninsula exists for three reasons: fishing, wheat production and tourism. But, because it is so far from anywhere (1,900 km from Sydney, 1,400 km from Melbourne and even 647 km from Adelaide) it is sparsely populated and still has a kind of 1950s charm, particularly when it comes to towns like Lock, Cleve, Kyancutta and Cummins which are away from the coast.

There is another bonus: like most of northern and western South Australia it doesn’t get enough rain which means that it seems to be bathed in endless, glorious sunshine.

If I was wanting a great Australian holiday with a difference, I’d fly to Port Lincoln and hire a car for a fortnight. Every day would be a wonderland of memorable experiences.
