When we got
up today it was dark and you could just see the sun coming up on the horizon at
that was at 6:00am. We still had a long
way to go today and not sure what Cattle water pass was going to be like so we
had to be on the road early.
So out of
Arthur River (free camp) at about 7:15am not far down the road we stopped at
the biggest termite mound near the road and took photos of everyone beside it.

| Dusty Road |
We pulled
into Jervois at 8:00am and filled up with fuel very expensive ($2. plus ) and by the time we had a chat to the owner
and found out a little about cattle water pass.
Down the
road was Harts Range and passed that at 10:00am and after that a police car raced
pass us going the same way and left us with a cloud of dust (thanks) not sure
where he was going but he was in a hurry.

| Kerry in the wildflowers |
We saw some
lovely wildflowers on this track and the whole place looked very green.
The track
was good even though people told us it was not safe we had no trouble and we
are towing a camper.

| Bull Dust |
We did hit a
section with a bit of bull dust nothing major and everyone got through it not
dramas at all.
Pete found a
good spot for lunch about 1:30 and after that we found a steep stretch of the
track all was good and we made it.
Continued on
and the track was good all the way to Old Ambuliumba, and at the end of the
track we turned left and headed for Altunga to have a look there.
On to
Trephina Gorge for the night and we arrived there about 4:00pm, not a lot of
spots left for us so when we did find a place for three camps we just pulled up
and set up.

| Altunga Mines |
Had a lovely
dinner and a chat before making out way to bed at about 8:30pm, too early for
me so I sat up typing up a few day's diary entries.
