On the way back from Karumba we didn’t see much more until Normanton. We needed to buy some bread and diesel before heading towards Cloncurry.
The BP station seemed closed on Saturday after 12 pm. Then we found that not only the town had run out of beer, also diesel seemed to have evaporated. The closest pump is 200 km away in Bruce Willis. Marjo keeps saying Burke & Willis but I can’t remember that.
We measure the fuel tank and calculate how much we should be able to drive, acknowledging that we also have 20 liter spare and are driving in the wind (quite strong). We don’t want to wait here another day so we just set off and hope for the best.
We pass several road trains again, even with 4 trailers and keep following the endless road.
Then we arrive at a nice roadside stop with ample space. There are already some fellow campers and we find a nice spot for ourself.
The outback offers some nice sun sets and Dotti looks so much younger in this light 😉
