Tjukayirla to Warburton |
Bush camp before Tjukayirla to Warburton
Last night setting up the hot water Nathan dicovered that a fitting was broken
Up early after a night where I woke at some stage to the sound of rain, Nathan however woke to the sound of rain and trucks passing through the night, we did not go far enough away from the road, when the rain hit he got up and adjusted our awning, we did not allow for rain and there was some puddling that needed to get sorted out.

Broken things
|
What is a road trip without couple (or more) issues,
so what has been discovered so far We had our second Jeep issue passenger's seat would not lock upright. Nathan worked his magic again sorted in about 5 mins. Our third Jeep issue is a doozie, driving along and bang. Nathan thought burst tyre I thought the Starlink on the roof had broken off the roof..... Neither of us was correct, our rear window had shattered on the gravel road......... Our hot water system broken again, not heating up at all this time. One of our taps under that camper has been hit by something and broken, no water lost.... We are going to be busy in Alice Springs |

On to Tjukayirla, nothing eventful on this section, Nathan and I were trying to work out what every vehicle that had been left on the side road, not an easy task, some where on their side, others on their roof, some burnt out.
Fuelled up here and we had simple wraps for lunch.

We got into Warburton, fuelled up at $3.10 per litre.
Friends update
We got to Warburton and they contacted us, only 30 mins from where we were, we are now travelling together
On to our campsite, we decided to camp up early to sort out a few things and for our friends to rest up a bit after 2 days on the road where we had taken 3 days.
About 80 km's out of Warburton, Bang.......
