That 168 km from Ivanhoe I had just driven without seeing any other vehicle or person. But
I had seen 70 cattle, 189 sheep, 6 kangaroos, 8 goats and 2319 birds. (Or thereabouts.)
The geotag map shows big areas of blue around here. They haven't been lakes for thousands of
years, and I doubt if they are at serious risk of flooding; the roads go straight through
these "blue bits" and you don't notice the difference unless you are watching your GPS thing.
