Well it was a good thing we managed to get a cabin. We were woken by a severe thunder storm about 2am and again at 4am. Would have been washed out had we been in tents. Not being able to get to sleep again, decided to hit the road early.
Had breakfast in Yunta at 6am which we binned 🙁 then headed for the border where we stopped for a couple of pictures. Then drove onto Broken Hill where I’m writing this while Aaron gets a proper breakfast (or so he thinks). We’ve got a severe thunderstorm with very heavy rain at the moment so we’ll stay put for a bit. Listening to the CB, most of the truckies are pulling over.
We’ve got fuel (60 litres for 502km) so that will get us to Bourke. Will log back again later.
Day 3 will still be a big day of driving with a distance of 941km. We're expecting quite different landscape on this day as we're heading up into the mountains{...}
