After an eventful but mostly enjoyable trip across
the desert via
Gary Junction, we are in Alice, mainly to wait for a bolt we lost from the spring of the F250.
We couldn't get into the CP we favour out of town, so are in town amongst the noise, and could only get unpowered, but in the shade of trees, so computer time will be extremely limited.

Hi Gone Bush
Yes, we were lucky we didn't miss them. When re-fuelling, someone suggested we go to the
Well to
camp - and there they were.

Perth. Good to here from you. What happened at
Well 33? On it's way over here, has this wet ,cold and extremely windy front dropped much rain around the
Gary Junction r

Hi Sally
We met up with some friends of Gone Bush at
Well 33 who he had told us about, travelling with a group heading in the opposite direction to us.
Our poor daughter at
home looking after the sheep and lambs has had nothing but rain. She can't drive on the paddocks to feed to cold and hungry sheep. The weather we had coming across and since we got here has been perfect. Mild sunny days and cosy cool nights.
Enjoy the trans crossing. Friends of ours have been across twice.

Hi Cobber
We will head north and explore our way to
Darwin, then decide where next. I am thinking of the
Savannah way into FNQ. What way after that? Who knows.
Friends went through the
Great Central Road as far a Sandy Blight
Junction a couple of weeks ago, and the GCR had just been graded! The SBJ was rough though.
