Day 6

DAY 6

26^th June 2012

Woke up early for a ‘quick’ pack up!!! Wet swags, red dirt and freezing fingers don’t make for a happy start to the day. My turn for a melt down LOL!!! Watched a beautiful sunrise in between packing up. No time for photos for me L That’s okay, “suck it up princess is the saying”!!

On the road about 8.30. Headed into Ceduna for a top up of supplies including spare petrol. We managed to do some laundry and have a cafe lunch while Pete got a new car battery and a few auto electric repairs done to his car. We all picked up some prawns for a seafood risotto dinner!

After our stop in Ceduna it was on the road to Googs Lake for new camp site. At the start of the Googs Track we let down our tyres for the sand driving and had the launching of ‘the flags’ ceremony. Cheryl tried to get a photo without the People Mover ‘Casper” or the silver Pajero without the real bumper bar Lol!!! Then we were off!! Jutter, jutter, jutter............. nothing like corrugation driving! Our blinker kept coming on, quite funny. It is fun to be driving off road and discovering new parts of our beautiful country!!

We stopped to check out some Rock Holes that the Aboriginal people use for water supply when travelling to the sea.

Finally, we were at Goog Lake and setting up our camp. Two nights here, and no driving tomorrow made me feel very happy!!! We all made risotto for tea. Maiden risotto for Lisa. Worked out pretty yummy too. Thanks Fiona for the recipe!! Poor Anthea, SOMEONE?? Forgot to get the prawns for the Freeman dinner. L Their holiday HAS to get BETTER soon!!! Campfire warmth then off to bed.
