What a shame, I really liked this place

Must admit, it was on the to do list.

Last time we were up there we went to Seven Emus instead.

I spoke to Rhett (I grew up with his dad) when we were there 18 months ago and he was feeling a bit frustrated and downhearted. He had had a bad accident some years prior and I was wondering if he was fully recovered.
He said back then his aim was to move away from tourism and concentrate on cattle. It's a real shame.
I wish him and his family luck and success.

I remember reading about his accident at the time, very freaky, very ugly and made a real mess of Rhett's head, lucky to have survived.
