Camp 14 – Dingo Well

Not sure what to expect today so we left camp at 7:45 as everyone was ready, Pete was the leader and Kruger’s tail end.

The road was very windy in and out of the trees and the river so the I think this will be like this for most of the day,

We had morning tea at 10:15am to give the drivers a break from all the stearing they have had to do.

We can only do 35ks per hr so in 2hrs we have done 25ks, so it is a bit slow going.

I spotted 5 camels onto of a dune and as they were on Pauls side and I was holding cameras and Pauls nexus I could not take any photos as by the time I tried to get out of the car they had run to the other side of the dune.

After lunch we found the track to Lake Caroline (not marked) nice drive in but no water it was very big though.

We are now drive in the Hay River and lost our way for awhile, We found a track out of the river but could not fine the main track so after some went back down the river looking Ian track back a short distance and found a way out.  We have just spent about and hr doing this and the day was getting on.

Now back on the track we came across Dingo Well and while everyone was looking around Paul filled up our water container for a well earned shower tonight.  We drove a little further to find a camp spot.

We had to do a bit of gardening so we could put up tents but it was ok. Show and tell tonight was something we had found in the bush and Pete & Robin had skulls (Camel head, Eagle head).Great fire.

Ian Mckinley shackle for leaving his side windows open and nearly driving off,
