Gidday all,

Met up with our friend in Loxton and caught up on the years since we last saw each other. Then on towards Renmark where we found a nice campsite by the Murray and stayed for a couple of days.

Then on a miner little dirt road and over the border into NSW. Decided to head to Broken Hill and up into Queensland from there. Today went from Wilcania to Bourke up the dirt road along the Darling river. All was good till about an hour in when it started to rain. For the next 250k the road turned to mush. We spent the next 7hrs crawling along in 4wd, most of the time sideways. Now in Bourke, having a nice rest. The truck wouldn’t give up, a few hairy moments but it kept on going. Had to scrape about a ton of mud off at the other end. Up to Cunamulla from here and into QLD.
