We woke up pretty early and packed up quickly to head into Kununurra to refuel. I got some coffee and a sausage roll from the servo for breakfast and then we headed east. It was a bit of a boring drive and once we crossed the border into NT we lost 1.5 hours. When we got to Timber Creek we stopped down by the creek for a drink and a stretch and then as we were driving through the little township we saw a sign for home made Croc pies so we had to stop and try one. They weren't too bad but also not wonderful. Back on the road until a toilet stop at the picnic area in Judburra/Gregory national park.
Then more fairly easy/boring driving to Katherine where we refueled and Shane picked up another battery for his tyre monitors. As we were heading to Mataranka, Shane suggested a quick swim at Bitter Springs and this was great. Nice warm crystal clear water flowing smoothly along the creek, an excellent way to relax.
Back on the road again heading south and Shane's Patrol clocked up a milestone of 300,000 km so he had to stop and take photos. It was getting close to sunset and we wanted to make it to the Daly Waters Pub for dinner. We made it as it was getting dark and had a great meal there, there tons of people there eating and staying in the caravan park.
After dinner we went a couple of km down the road to the free camp at Stuart's Tree where we simply parked and climbed into bed. I noticed that I had a return of my diesel leak with it coming from around the epoxy filler. It wasn't too bad and I used soap to stop it as much as possible and I'll look at it again in the light of day. It should be fine for the trip home as I'll never be too far from fuel. Then it was time for blog writing and also posting some blogs from the time I was away from civilization.
