Campbell gives me a ring from time to time, when he gets into a town and can get to a phone. He just called from Mitchell Qld - about to embark on the last leg of 'The Swagmans Walk', Mitchell to Roma - a distance of some 90 kilometres. He is intersecting with the Harry Redford Cattle Drive along the way, and there will be a Big Blow Out at Roma - more info here: http://www.drovingaustralia.com/

ABC Radio have been taking an interest: "The small western Queensland town of Aramac saw its population explode from 300 to more than 3000 over the weekend, as people poured in for the launch of the Harry Redford Cattle Drive."

The busking must be good - he reckons he made his targets, and was able to give a donation to The Fred Hollows Foundation, and The Starlight Foundation, and tonight, he is sleeping rough somewhere...

Good on you Campbell
