Hmmm...filled up with fuel and noticed a water leak under the van. Nothing strikes fear so much as having no water...
Took a while but fixed the broken clamp and refilled the tanks. Made the decisionLes mer

Our morning walk today was gorgeous. ..28° with 67% humidity. ..sweaty is the term I would use but not overly hot.
2017 AusTravel It is beautiful and I will always have a sense of "coming home " on arrival in Cairns. Although I could never live here long term again. ..just too hot.

Living The Dream Hughenden.... was there something about dinosaurs there? A memory is stirring.
Living The Dream 200 kms of dirt road, how long did it take you to drive that?
2017 AusTravel Hughenden is part of Australia's dinosaur trail...and it took near 4 or 5 hours to do the dirt. Shook the van around and we gathered some dust inside but was worth it. We often go off the black stuff and on the dirt...
