It was quite warm this morning when we got up, had a quick coffee and then hit the road north. We stopped for a quick break and snacks at the border sign and then stopped for photos at the real border, a couple of Kms down the road.
Then we gained 90 mins as we were then on WA time. The road was really in quite good condition and we cruised along at 80-90 kph with no worries. At the Wolfe Creek Meteorite Crater we stopped in for some lunch and then had a quick walk up to the top of the crater for some photos. Shane went for a walk out into the middle of the crater while I put the drone up in the air for a few photos, unfortunately it was a bit windy but I ended with some nice shots.
The last bit of the Tanami was probably the worst of the lot with more rough surface and corrugations then previously. Finally we came out onto the Great Northern Road and it was an easy run into Halls Creek on the bitumen. We had a quick look for the mechanic that Sue and I had used last time we were in Halls Creek but it appeared he was no longer there. So we went and checked into the Caravan Park and setup for the evening. Shane talked to the caravan park people and found a mechanic or two to go and talk to about his car and it turns out that one of them can look at it first thing in the morning. Then I cooked up a Spanish Chicken and Chorizo rice dish for dinner using the thermopot. We had entertainment at this time as a bus load of tourists pulled in and they had to set up their tents, I don't think it was for the first time but they didn't really seem to know what they were doing. We sat around and caught up on the internet for awhile and after a shower headed off for an early night in bed.
