Well we have been home now for a week or so . Still trying to get the dust out of the van .
We have started getting things happening for next year . Planning to go away in March for
about six months . Will go south through NSW , Victoria and then across the Nullabor to W.A .
Up the west coast to Darwin then across to our favourite fishing hole at Batten Point . We met a couple on the way home who are looking for a long term house sit next year . Should work out
well . We are upgrading the ute to an Iveco truck , then we can carry much more junk . So for those who followed my ramblings , cheers til next year .

2pm Tues
Here we are at the old township of Mary Kathleen, came in for lunch and decided to stay the night . The town was abandoned in1984 after the uranium mine closed .All that is left now are a few bitumen streets and all the concrete slabs from the buildings . No facilities at all , but a fantastic free camp , lots of shade under leafy gums and plenty flat sites , can just hear the road noise. We left Batten Point 9am Monday, drove 28ks turned left , then drove 138ks to Cape Crawford turned left , then drove 373ks to Barkly Homestead of which 125ks was one property
turned left , then drove 278ks to Camooweal . Then today 189ks to Mt Isa , turned left , then drove 60ks to Mary Kathleen turned left into old township . Tomorrow after 75ks we get to use the right indicator . So that was 1167ks all left turns .
