BUNGLES TO MARY POOL

After a good sleep on Wednesday night, following lots of walking in the Bungles, we left our campsite at Spring Creek to drive only 218km to our next overnighter at Mary Pool. We stopped at Halls Creek to get fuel, and I did notice the town looked untidy and rundown. I know that there was a recent headline in the media about some trouble here at Halls Creek, but to be honest, nothing much has changed. Everywhere we've travelled on this trip, we've never been worried or concerned for our safety. You just have to be aware and conscious of your surroundings. I just think there is more publicity about violence in these outback communities these days. As I've said before, it's society everywhere these days. Sad but true!
It rained from Halls Creek to Mary Pool, where we settled in around lunchtime. It's the first rain we've seen since a drizzle on the Nullabor!
We had a lovely campfire ( wood Jase gave us in Kapunda), and it burned really well!
This morning, we've woken to an overcast sky, but no rain.
We have another short drive to Fitzroy Crossing, where we'll stay in the Caravan Park just out of town. Hooked up to power, John can watch his NRL, and I'll be watching AFL. My footy tipping is going from bad to worse!!Baca selengkapnya
