Moving again

With the Disco back on the road again, we faced a difficult question - how do we get home?

We could truck the car to Broome, then onward to Perth, with us flying direct from Kununurra, however this would cost around $6,000

We could drive the long way around, following the Great Northern Highway, however that is still very very remote and frankly, a bit boring as an option, seeing we’d already travelled along that way.

Or, we get back on the horse, and take on the Gibb a second time. We no longer have a safety net from RAC, so any further towing would be at our own cost - possibly up to $6-7k also.

The towing price would be the same for the highway - a cheaper rate due to the asphalted road, but more kilometres means the price difference could be minimal.

So, do we pay the definite cost of flights, or roll the dice on the Gibb…

Well, we pulled in to Ellenbrae Station again this afternoon… :-)

A rather uneventful day for us otherwise, thankfully. The Pentecost crossing was more of an adventure, with a car and caravan hopelessly bogged right in the middle when we arrived. Wiebe, together with other dads waded in to help (crocodile infested water remember) and they spent the next hour getting him out. There is a suspicion his trailer brakes were malfunctioning and locking on, meaning that whilst he is on the remote side now, he will either need to drive the remote Gibb River road with dodgy brakes, or cross the river again to get them fixed back in Kununurra…

An early night tonight - someone turns one in the morning…!Read more
