    Trip to Campsite

    April 23, 2019 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C

    Traveling from Kings Canyon to our next campsite was relatively uneventful although as we closer to the campsite it is necessary to collect firewood for the campfire otherwise no hot food for dinner.
    Fortunately the wood is so dry out here as it hasn’t rained since November 2018?
    The “Oils” sang a song called “Beds are Burning” and there is a line in the song...Holden wrecks and boiling diesels, steaming 45 degrees...the time has come etc. I wonder if they were thinking of such a car. There is another song of theirs called “Luritja Way” which we also passed on our travels :).
    During one of the stops...I commandeered the truck and began to slowly drive off as if the hand break had slipped causing our guide Suzie to panic ;).
    Jen and I slept in swags a couple of times and the experience in the desert is amazing as the night sky is so vast and beautiful.
