We have another cold night, 5 degrees according to our Dutch neighbour. He has some fancy phone that tells him the temperature and he and his friend were very cold as they slept in a tent. Before arriving at this camping they had to wait on the other side of the accident and later that afternoon got through on a single lane. It appears that the accident was caused by a car plus double axle trailer tried to overtake a road train, swayed and rolled, taking the car with it. The driver didn’t make it. That makes you feel vulnerable and obviously sad for the family.
We try again to escape Alice Springs but have a slow start after we both take a shower first and pack up. This time we seem to succeed. About 100 km down the road we see another accident. This time a rolled 4 wheel drive ended on its side. There are other cars to help and they signal that we have to drive on. It definitely makes you think.
At around 4 pm and 360 km north of Alice we pull into a rest stop. We park the bus and are knackered.
Marjo makes boerenkool with worst because it’s only 34 degrees in the bus. We play around with the camera and end up with some nice shots. The not so nice ones we deleted. Thanks digital camera!
At night it cools down though, not below 15 degrees but nice enough to sleep in.
