Lots of very bad big corrugations and dips in the road saw us arrive at Bramwell Roadhouse before the crowds. We had pick of a site, we pulled up right by a huge termite mound and a little covered area for Scott to put his swag under. It started to rain but was short lived and to be honest it was lovely having it on our skin cooling us down. I am so glad it cools down at night I can handle the heat if I can get a comfortable night. The roadhouse actually does an alright coffee, all my coffee’s so far have been pretty shit I wish I had brought my machine along with me. On our way here we drove through a little fire at the side of the road, there is a lot of burning off going on around here.
Oh dear, not sure it was such a good idea to pull up by the termite mound as there are so many kids that want to come and get a picture by it and with the kids come the parents. Oh well, surely by dinner time they will have all been over for a visit! It was lovely to sit by a fire again and know that we were not moving the next day. Tomorrow we will pull everything out of the car and repack ready to be using our tent as we are leaving the caravans here, everything has to be re-organised. Once the re-organisation was finished we all relaxed for the rest of the day looking forward to some more adventure on our way up to the tip.
We dropped the vans off at the storage area first thing in the morning. We decided to leave the vans for the rest of the trip up to the tip on advice from other travelers who have said the roads get very bad as we get higher up and corrugations get bigger. We feel this is the best option for us so as not to completely wreck our vans. Also, we have decided this a great opportunity for us to try out our tents etc in preparation for our trip on The Canning Stock route which will hopefully happen next year dependent on Covid.
