Canning Stock Route - campfire breakfast
We travelled via the aboriginal settlement of Kunawarritji from Well 37 to Well 30.
We all got up pronto so that we could have showers in K., hopefully getting there before all the hot water was used by another group. We succeeded!
My swagmate & I heard a chiming wedgetail this morning - so beautiful! I saw one flying in the Desert Park in Alice.
The last 20 kms before K. had the most horrendous corrugations you could imagine, and I'm sure it was them, and maybe unsuitable shock absorbers, that dealt to the shock absorbers in the 2nd tagalong vehicle. The two people involved then had to wait in K. for 5 days, while some fresh and more suitable shocks were flown up to Pt Hedland, and then driven to Kunawarritji and installed. It's remote country out here!
If you're interested, suitable shock absorbers for out here are Old Man Emus, made by Bilstein. It's good to have spares too. These folk didn't have spares that were the right size.
There was a white dingo up the top of the hill, when I wandered up to take sunset pics.
