Well today didn't go with plan a, b or c, ended up with plan d, thankfully we didn't need plan e. Left Gregory and retraced our step to Bourke & Wills Roadhouse where we filled up with fuel. Back in the car and headed for a free camp half way between Bourke & Wills and Gregory. There is absolutely nothing there except an overflowing bin. We walked around and picked a spot but when deciding which way to place the van noticed the decaying carcass of a bull so elected not to park there. The next spot was too small for our van. At this stage we were getting hot and bothered so decided to push on to the next free camp by a river. No luck there as we must have passed the way in without noticing. On to the next free camp. There was no shade and it was now 32 degrees and as we were only 100 or so km from Julia Creek we went past it and into town. We had previously booked in for Sun and Mon nights so we could get some power and catch up on some washing. Luckily they could fit us in tonight as well. We set up and had a late lunch (3pm). As we don't need to rely on our solar panels for lights etc we have a beautiful shady spot between 2 trees so should have shade the whole day through. Heaven in this heat. Spent the afternoon getting the blog typed to publish tomorrow when we can organise the photos.
