Another amazing sunrise across the claypan. We had to pack
up fairly early as we had a car to be (hopefully fixed) today while at Ceduna.
My computer just came up with the black screen of death!!
Says it’s attempting to recover the C drive!!
Aaahhhh!
Seems to have worked OK. Lucky my photos are safe. Computer,
flashdrive and camera card.
It was quite a long day at Ceduna. The boys went with
Peter to the Auto electrician. He
wouldn’t have been able to do it except that Col and Bruce worked as his labourers. He
only charged $30 for labour as the boys did most of it. It only cost Peter $360
for a new battery, a new red arc dual battery system, cabling and Anderson
plug! Wow bargain.
A few from the group hit the Laundromat, groceries were
bought and a visit to the cafe. Once all of the jobs were done we hiked out to
the end of the jetty, where we had a
whole pod of dolphins swim under us.
The seafood market was a disappointment as they only had
frozen prawns for our risotto tonight. Finally, real 4WDing and new ground for
us. We hit Goog’s Track fairly late, but it wasn’t too far to Goog’s Lake.
After deflating our tyres to 25 PSI and chatting to a couple of blokes, we
headed along the combination of corrugations and sand dunes through trees. I
loved my turn driving. Make sure you take turns with the driving as
experiencing the 4WDing is a big part of the adventure!
There was a quick stop at the rockpools that were old faithfuls, used by
Aboriginal nomads for thousands of years in the past.
Then we found a gorgeous camping site in an orange sand hill, under
the trees, overlooking a sat lake. Great for the kids to run wild on again.
Beautiful rocks and crystals. Chelsea had fun crawling on the lake bed. We were
trying to get her to walk with no luck.
Such a relaxing evening around the campfire. I’m glad I’ve
finished my antibiotics so I can enjoy a glass of wine.
