We had a very lazy morning, with a bit of a sleep in and not doing much. Hot cross buns for morning tea around the fire and discussing where we could go for a drive. Some lunch around about noon and then as it was pretty hot we decided to go for a drive in the nice air conditioned cars. We explored some of the ruins and leftover machinery in the area as well as some waterholes, which looked pretty much like the water hole we were camped on. There were a few other camps over the other side of the creek that we saw but there weren't a lot of people around at all.
Back to camp for afternoon tea and a bit of snooze before dinner. It was still very hot, around 36 but there was no breeze to cool things down. About 5'ish we gathered around the fire for drinks and nibbles, I provided some cheese and crackers and Wayne supplied freshly cooked yabbies with some sweet chilli sauce. Then the cooking show started around the fire, with Wayne cooking up tons of perch with a crunchy topping in the camp oven. This was after Adam extinguished most of the camp fire when the marinade from his chicken leaked onto the fire. All this time the mossies were being extremely annoying just by buzzing around, not many were actually biting as the DEET from the Bushman's was pervading the air and discouraging them from landing. We could see the lightning from some storms a long way away and hoped this would bring a cool change.
