You put your hand out in front of you on a howling misty night and it disappeared many atime the electrician's were driving around in whiteout conditions trying to find which power pole had tripped out cutting off the power to the mine after one hour of no power we all headed out to starry's
Workshop to wait for Alan Mosley and Kevin Holbrook to find the fault and connect the power back up
Great days up on Denniston

My husband and I recently did a tour up to Denniston, with Outback Tours, in his Uni-Mog. A Christmas pressie from our daughter. What an amazing trip that was! Soo insightful! We TOTALLY RECOMMEND it.
