Day 5 - Still on the Nullabor

A mirror of yesterday in some regards. Woke early and rekindled the fire. Left over meat and fresh eggs in wars for brekkie.

Packed up and ready to head off about 9am.

A panicked indecipherable rant by Gail caused me to bring the car to a halt. One gets very frustrated when the commotion that frightens the crap out of you is not readily identified.

It took a couple of seconds before Gail could convey a somewhat large arachnid had decided to scamper along her leg.

I do wish to point out, I did NOT sight said arachnid so I’m having to take her word, but her sudden complexion change may have been a hint.

I was ordered to open the van, retrieve the anti arachnid spray and proceeded to fumigate the car.

Thank goodness it was a low irritant low odour version.
