"Lucky Pigs" is the name given to our Winnebago motor-home by the previous owners who had friends from New Zealand who used to call them "Lucky Pegs" because they were living and traveling in the Winnebago around Australia as we are now doing. "Lucky Pigs" in New Zealand are equivalent to "Lucky Buggers" here in Australia. We decided to keep the existing name after purchasing it in February 2010.

TULLY
Today we travelled south of Tully to a property owned by Val, whose property was badly damaged by fallen trees and other debris from the cyclone. She also works in an aboriginal artist gallery in Cardwell. The work was very hard but we all enjoyed the wonderful roast Val cooked us all for lunch. On the way back to camp we came across a Tiapan snake that was on the side of the road. There have been quite a few sightings of these snakes lately and some cattle deaths have been caused by them as well in the area. They are a very aggressive snake and will not retreat when confronted and we have heard several stories to confirm this!
