Saturday...
Got an early start this morning - we had about 600 km ahead of us. Leaving Lawn Hill (Adels Grove), we encountered some heavy vehicle traffic on the dirt road between Adels Grove and Gregory. It was very dusty and driving into the sun made it more difficult. Being able to communicate with the truckies is a big advantage. They were hauling to and from Century Mine.The majority of the road between Gregory and Burke and Wills Junction is sealed single lane. Not much more comfortable to negotiate although the on coming traffic was fairly light.
We all topped up fuel at Julia Creek and plugged on to a roadside campsite for our final night on the road before home.
When I rocked up at the servo, there was a car parked in my lane - the only diesel bowser I had to choose from. When old mate came out from paying, he leaned into his car and pulled out his camera clearly seeing that there is a queue waiting on him. He just ignored the fact and disappeared into the back blocks of the servo with his camera. About 5 minutes later, he returned and jumped into his car without making eye contact and sped off. What an ignorant @#$!*. Mind boggles as to why you need to take a camera into the toilets with you! I can think of a couple but I won't go into that here.
So here we are camped at Boundary Creek on the side of the road with an early get away planned tomorrow morning.
