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

Day 27 – 4th May
We got up reasonable early but not sunrise time as we didn’t think there was any point, as far as lighting was concerned. We spent a few hours walking around the main part of the Walls of China, taking pics by 9am the lighting wasn’t as good so we headed back. We had a relaxing … Continue reading Day 27 – 4th May
Day 26 – 3rd May
We filled the jerry cans with fuel and filled the car before heading to Mungo. Its 110km from Mildura and 88km of that is dirt. It wasn’t long before we hit corrugations, so Chris deflated the tyres again and it was much smoother. The road had water across it in several places; it got wetter … Continue reading Day 26 – 3rd May

On one side is a brand new Bush tracker, 3 days old, doesn’t even have dust in the tyres yet, owned by a couple from WA who picked it up at the Sydney caravan show, 12 month wait for a bush tracker. It has … Continue reading Day 24 – 1st May
Day 23 – 30th April
We were as snug as a bug in bed last night but anything sticking out of the doona froze off. It was 4 degrees in the van at 6.30am when we got up for the sunrise. I had no idea it was so light for such a long time before the sun actually got up, … Continue reading Day 23 – 30th April
Day 22 – 29th April
Our rest stop wasn’t that quite as it was close to the road and we had a truck pull in after 11pm. Also had some yoghurt on, the timer ticks so we put it in the washing machine, worked well. We passed several more ruins on our way to Wentworth, petrol at Renmark was only … Continue reading Day 22 – 29th April
Day 21 – 28th April
We had a solid night sleep after our big day yesterday. We found another leak this morning, with a John Guest fitting near the hot water system, this is more of a specialised part, so we had to do some looking on line and make some calls this morning to find a place that sold … Continue reading Day 21 – 28th April
