We held out for our first break until we got over the border into NSW. It was at Mungindi for coffee and to warm. There is a very cold breeze blowing today and Frog about has frostbite, he reckons.
We slept in today, it was dark enough in the hotel room that we didn't get up before about 6:45. But, as usual, we got up, ate breakfast, packed, and left.
This morning we were all awake well before the sun was up, so we had the truck packed and waited for the sun to rise so we could set off. Of course, that meant that the sun was right in our eyes as we were driving since we're heading east then south east.
We found out that the kangaroos around here have less road sense than the wallabies from yesterday afternoon. A few decided to play chicken with Frog and one of them almost lost, but Frog was able to brake enough to avoid contact.
After breakfast and packing up camp this morning, the first thing we did was cross the Robinson River. Gerald kept his wet boots on until after crossing another creek or river, then we stopped and he put on dry socks and boots.
This morning we packed up and left to go somewhere I had reception so that I could catch up on the blog. We went back to the Daly Waters Highway Inn servo so we could get some milk for breakfast while I sorted out my blog posts.
Thankfully a relatively short day, distance-wise, but it was straight into dusty, bumpy dirt roads. The kind of corrugations that appear out of nowhere, then threaten to shake your teeth loose. So even though it wasn't as far as other days, it was still some rough riding.
This morning we were ready to leave by 6:10am. So we left and found that half a kilometre further down the road was another campsite with people in it!
