Got onto the road and -----corrugations. About 20 k down the road David called us on the CB to say that they had broken their back window. A stone had bounced off the caravan through the window. We did emergency repairs with a tarp and headed off. This road is in pretty good condition apart from the first bit. David and Barbara had been a bit apprehensive about the time they would take on this road, however, not to worry, for the most part we travel at 80kmh.
The weather is overcast – Oh dear.
We have a couple of spots of rain and cross our fingers that there is no more – there isn’t.
The country side is beautiful, lots of vegetation and interesting rocky hills. Quite a few wildflowers in bloom. Not a lot of wildlife though. We had lunch at Lassiters Cave and walked up to have a look. Great little cave, it would have been as comfortable as possible given his situation.
The weather is now lovely.
Headed onto Warakuna and booked in for the night. It is a little primitive but the cookhouse is quite well set up and the toilets clean. The staff were very helpful and gave David a big sheet of cardboard to use on his back, non existent window. We have missed the weather balloon takeoff from Giles and disappointingly the lady tells us that they are not doing tours at the moment. We decide that we have to go and see the balloon take off in the morning. Apparently we will have to see it from the carpark. Sigh.
My turn to cook tonight, hope it is satisfactory.
