We had a big day today,not that many ks,only about 350, we were the last of our group to leave as we had to stop for an ice cream, about lunch time we stopped for fuel at a small place(Alpha) ,Aussies May know it as the site for the Adani mine,the servo only had 98 fuel so we filled up on that,the 33 went well on it.
About 1/2 hr later we came on one of our group in a 1927 dodge with a split wheel,helped change that but 10 miles down the road he got a flat,helped fix that,we got to our stop for the night about 3 hrs late but had a good day.
We to have a shower and find the batteries are flat in the gas water heater,so no shower tonight.
We have done about 900 klms so far and the 33 is going fine,on the long hills some times there is an engine fume smell inside ,but the engine is nice and strong.
Stopped at a rest stop for the night and there was. Volvo road train ( three trailers)broken down with a leaking heater core,helped fix it ,the driver new our car and had seen us in our home town and on the hiway,he was on the way to Darwin,a long long way.
We have an easy day tomorrow,only a couple hundred ks.
