Gidday all,

The weather report said the next few days were going to be wet. So down the track we came to a high spot and pulled up and made camp.

There were a few showers, but the wind was worse, blowing and gusting for two days. Not good for traveling, so we hunkered down and waited it out. Friday morning it was a still and clear sky, had breakfast and were on our way.

 

A number of ks up the track we came to the ruins of a railway workers accommodation, a relic from the original Ghan railway. Some rooms fairly intact, except for the roof, so we set up a kitchen complete with fireplace.

 

 

 

It was a good place to do the repairs to the damaged spring, so the next day we jacked up the wagon and supported it on timber which was conveniently lying about. All went smoothly and had it replaced quickly.

Spent two days there and caught up on washing and showers as well, what a great camp.

Time to move on, so packed up in the morning and re-joined the track up the line.

Another three days and we should be in Leigh Creek. A bus of school kids pulled up while we were camped at the ruins and asked Deb if she would visit the school with the camels. So that should be good.
