Day 20, Saturday 16/7/2016, Montecollina Bore, Strzelecki Desert

 It's cold and windy. Col was up pretty early today. He had a face to face encounter with a dingo at the dunny. Then had a sunrise walk in the wetlands.

Col, Jordan and I had a soak in the thermal pool. First you have to make a dam wall with a small outflow pipe (so the dam wall isn't breached). 40 degrees C! Amazing for the muscles!




It was a day of food. We made custom mini dampers for lunch again. 

We had some lovely chats with a few other travelers, then Siân and Jack had a few exploration walks while Jordan had an afternoon nap.

Col, Jack and Siân checked the water and oil levels on both cars and then blew out the dust from the air filters (using the air compressor).

After more soccer shots, I went for a sunset walk at the wetlands, then did the veges.

Everyone loved tea tonight. We each wrapped our own potatoes and cooked them in the coals, with other veges and chicken schnitzel on the Biji BBQ. 

Siân has mentioned 5 times how much she loves her Rekorderlig cider and seems to be a little giggly. Col has finished 'Inferno'. Jack is onto the 2nd book of his 'Century Trilogy' and Siân is onto the 3rd 'GoT' book. Jordan has read the desert textbook as she didn't bring her kindle and has also been quite into the photography. Very cultured!

We have the whole place to ourselves tonight. We went for a night walk and found lots of yabbies near the warm water. Dingoes howling in the distance.
