Day 28 – 5th May
Brrr it was a cold night and a cold morning a diesel heater sounds like a good idea and I think if you found yourself in cold areas a lot it would be worth considering. We packed up pretty quick and headed back along the corrugated, wet, dusty dirt road back to Mildura. We picked … Continue reading Day 28 – 5th May
