Heading East Queensland Here We Come.

Day 31

Not that we will get there today but we will be leaving Alice today and heading back across the Plenty toward Queensland today. Let’s see where we get. A cooler morning this morning, it is amazing how just a few hundred kilometres can make such a difference to the weather.
Well we headed off this morning with a nice casual drive on the bitumen all the way back out the Gem Tree caravan park. We stopped for smoko and so Rell could get a chicken burger for lunch. From there we continued of the bitumen until it ran out. They have done about 180k’s of bitumen on the Plenty so we will see how soon before they do the rest. We had a long haul again today. We stopped at the same rest area we camped at when we came out of the Hay river for lunch. At that time we also notice a noise coming out of the left hand wheel of the camper. So we stopped there and then and ripped the hud off and found the electric brake coil collapsed and in pieces. So cleaned it up and put back together. All good so far. Continued travelling until about 5pm and pulled up at a camp site. Well the flies didn’t leave us alone until it got dark. Also found the fire extinguisher in the kitchen had fallen off. So I had to fix that up and also found the camera cable for the camper was damaged. These rocky roads can cause some damage. Rell decided to cook a roast tonight so we had to get the fire going for coals while all these repairs were doing done. So it will be an easy dinner tonight before we head off tomorrow for Boulia.Read more
