So much damn driving!!!!!

[breneta]

I'm so boooooooored!! We have been driving for ever and we still have like 100k to go. We are driving to Kathrine from Kununurra and it's like 500k or so. I'm writing some of this in the car on my iPod which is the reason for my ranting coming first not last. Any way in the last two days we have driven all up around 1000k.

 

14/6/10 We set of for Wolfe Creek Crater which is on the edge of the Tanimi Desert, so it's pretty flat and desolate. When we arrived after 300k to Halls Creek and then 200k on a dirt road to Wolfe Creek National Park, we set up camp and went of for a walk up the crater. Wolfe Creek Crater was formed 300,000 years ago by a 50,000 tonnes meteorite so it was pretty large. In fact it averages about 875m in diameter, 60. from rim to present crater floor. Here's a link to a photo of it http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:yG40lk0QcWXBjM:http://www.astro.lu.se/~dainis/Images/WolfeCreek_2_large.JPG

Then we went back to camp, (which I might add had nothing but a pit toilet with no toilet paper) and had tinned god know what then went more or less straight to bed after watching the stars for a short while.

 

15/6/10 We drove 500km to Kunnunura and had a really nice dinner.

 

16/6/10 Last time we are going to take down the tents! Yay! Tonight I'll be in bed, a real bed, that
I don't have to make !!!!!!! We drove another 500k today, not much happened we did though over take the same person 5 times and spot our 3^rd dingo on the road.

 

We haven't really done much so I can probable leave it at that. Sorry for the short blog.

You poor old thing. Driving is the worst part of a trip like that. (Altho that pit toilet sounds pretty rotten). I guess we can expect the length of your blog to be inversely proportional to the number of kilometres you have had to drive* since your last post.
On the topic of driving, Christopher has passed his learner's test with 100%. It makes me feel ancient because I taught his father to drive.
Tell Nan we received her postcard and have read it over and over and marvelled at how they managed to do it all. Tell her thanks very much.
I am supposed to be doing CGS accounts. What is the temperature like there? Is it warm? Our days are a bit chilly but OK. Nights are about 0 but that's OK when inside with a heater.
Take care and keep taking the pics. I look forward to seeing them all some time.
Love lots beautiful girl.


"Well I don't mean you driving personally but being driven.

Oh, I hear you on the long distance driving. It's such a bore. Still, at least you don't have to fight with your siblings in the back seat.

Looking forward to seeing you soon *mwah*
