Were Back

We did another trip through Warrawenna on our way to the Painted Desert.

Stony and Gina, were busy with quite a few travellers coming through as it was the School Holidays.

We took friends up Mt Gill and then did Cockatoo Dunbar the following day. Whilst sitting at the hut having lunch we saw a convoy travelling down suicide with an older model Nissan Nav in 2nd spot. half way down there was an almighty bang and an immediate sound of shale being slid on by the Nav. I thought he must have blown either a diff or CV but it seems he broke a steering arm. What fun on the way down? The arm was removed and taken back to the homestead to be welded; I am lead to believe this only lasted a few k's when put back on before again parting company. The owners were waiting for a new one from Adelaide when we left.

Also same day Stony told us that a Disco had they believed holed his sump and were also in a convoy and everyone was taking 500ml out of their vehicles to get the rig back to base after fixing the hole.

We later did in a back window on the Oodnadatta Track but this seemed such a little hassle after these guys’ adventures.

Warraweena and the Painted Desert were both very worth the trip, also thanks to Willem and Judith for the Cuppa on our way through.
