What a stinker of a day 36 degs and a disgusting road that caused me to have 2 black eyes

Diesel at Hughenden Qld $1.17cpl

Dump point was a bit of a fizzer, a hole in the street with a tap, hate to be the house opposite on such warm days. Stopped for the night just out of Torrens creek in a lovely gravel pit with the first lot of shady trees we have seen for days. Also saw 3 big black pigs that had been bowled but didn't feel like worm infested pork can go to maccas for that

Still waiting for good old off shore HP to get back to me re the computer, just love this after sales service. Don't get me started on phones either,, too bad I;m in a mood now. Just about all the towns out this way are tourists using their phones, ours is always running out of battery or no signal even in towns, Reason being not with Telstra but internet is... Hopefully to be up early to beat some of the heat tomorrow should get to Charters Towers lunch time

just a hundred and some ks.

Mobile phone batteries go flat out on those remote roads, Dot, because they use energy searching for a signal when there is none to be found. A good truck driver can tell you to turn off your phone if signals are few and far between, or, keep the phone on charge.

Would you have a look in the local ph book and see if you can see any listing for K. Meredith (he used to be a copper) Have you been to Huka falls? great place to dispose of stuff

Any travels to the buried village? 35 deg in bus so we have stopped for the night.. You are not too far to Norman either.. Enjoy yourselves
Dot, I tried calling but no answer, wasn't going to leave a message. Emailed Norman via the forum but have not received a reply.

Headed off early this morning but at 11am I was starting to get sleepy so found a tree pulled up and had a nap for an hr or so. Then onward to a rest area named Reid creek rest area, very nice even has loos but even at 1pm the vans are all in their places, even taking over the seats and shelters

Ended up sitting with a couple in a wildcat 5er and their pussy GEORGE

Just had a text from Jo & Derek to say they are in Bowen so they have booked us in for 2 nights at the self contained part of the cp $15 pvpn.. So looks like tomorrow night in Bowen might be a bit loud as Greg & Dee will be home as well.. Crickets singing tonight is very loud and the trains add to the sounds of the night.. 241 ks done today

you can keep these early mornings to the sparrow farts club. Going to watch some telly now

Inside is now 26deg..
