The Simpson and Kimberleys trip, 2018 Day 5

It seemed much warmer overnight but it was still chilly getting out of bed in the morning. We had coffee and leisurely pack up, hitting the track around 8:30 am. We had about a half an hour of crappy humpy track before the turn off to Knolls Track which we head south on. The track was noticeably better and the driving much easier. We stopped to look at the Approdinna Attora Knolls and climbed up to the top and took some photos. 


We continued south down Knolls Track until it met the Rigg Road and we turned west onto it.

Not long after passing a group of eight cars with a couple caper trailers we stopped for some lunch. Then it was onto the the Lone Gum, once again stopping for some photos. 

We made camp early to set up for a roast lamb in the cap oven. On stopping I found that my fire extinguisher (which I carry in the camper) had worked it's way loose and set itself off. Luckily it was confined to a small compartment and a quick dust pan and broom cleanup had it all sorted out. 
This topped off a couple of other problems from the rough roads. They were a spillage of olive oil, which was relatively easily cleanup and the breaking of a small bottle of cumin in a plastic storage box, this box also had a bottle of lemon juice that managed to leak, so I needed a more extensive cleaning exercise for that problem. While we were whiling away some time I got the drone out and started to take some photos and videos. 

Brett was taking some product shots of his new roof top tent so we did a couple of fly arounds to get some video. Unfortunately, it went a little wild while trying to do a preprogrammed circle around the car and crashed into the back of the car. There was no damage to either the car or the drone so all was good.

PS. The roast lamb and veges done in the camp oven was sensational. There is enough left over lamb for lunch tomorrow.
