 Tuesday 30^th May

SHE SAID:

We said a sad goodbye to Minnie & Skye (the cats) & headed off to collect Bertie the caravan for our 70km drive to Willow Springs.

This free camp was about 5km off the Brockman Highway in an old drover's camp. We had the place to ourselves till about 5.30pm, when a guy turned up in a small van. We enjoyed a roaring fire for several hours before the rain came down.

HE SAID:

The camp that Varena had found was a great place. We had space, peace and quiet, and a great fire. But the tall forest was going to prevent any recharging of our van batteries, as the solar panels were not going to get any sun. Normally, this is fine for a day or two, but with awful weather expected, we'll just have to wait and see. There were a few light, misty showers during the afternoon, which we tolerated, but we had to head inside when it became more persistent around dusk. We enjoyed Varena's Bolognese for dinner.
