I must admit that when I left
Broken Hill that day I intended to plot the track on my GPS and keep a record of it. Don't think I had discovered ExplorOz at that time so posting a User Trek was not the motivation but...
Anyway when the car sank to the door sills in a puddle of sloppy mud.
When I got a very vivid mental picture of all my recovery gear sitting on the shelf in the shed.
When I reached into the red mud with my bare hands to start digging.
When I finally got the car out of the mud as the sun set in the west and I still had to get the trailer out and reconnect it to the car without a jockey wheel in place...
somehow in all that I lost the inspiration to restart the GPS and plot the rest of the track.
I know I will ask my dear long suffering wife to write her account of the trip...that way no one else will ever want to drive that road again and I will have it all to myself.
Sorry she said $&%^&* no!
It is an interesting drive that takes you through parts of the state that have limited access. I have been along there a number of times and always enjoyed it. Just don't tell everyone.
