Packed up the tents and headed off on day2 from Hahndorf, breaky at the local subway along the way to ensure a fast exit for the trip today (no prizes for guessing who's choice subway was). A fair bit of holiday traffic up until Port Augusta, then there were only the few fool hardy travelers such as us beyond that point. The temperature was above 30C from 10:00 AM onward.
Emma's highlight was conversing with a goat, rather a long conversation was had. She also was quite distraught when passing a number of trucks with full loads of happy chickens on a once in a lifetime trip away from their pens heading to the ingham resort.
The Stuart highway soon became a desolate place with salt-bush and rock replacing the dry grass and spindly trees. A number of salt lakes we visited, Matt collecting his montage of soils and salt into his plastic bottle. We drove out onto a patch of salt lake behind a department of defense restricted area, a number of vehicles were rusted to the core, we were expecting the black-hawks at any time now...
It was a long day of driving Joe struggling to keep upright on a number of occasions, luckily these occasions were when he was near stationary.
Every day now JC has produced an extra piece of luggage that needed to be stored in/on the car. Travel light was the original message to Joe, don't know where all this extra luggage is coming from but rumor has it there is illegal contraband in the form of a pillow, this item was strictly forbidden and JC was well versed in these instructions.
The highlight for today would have to be the accommodation at Glendambo Resort, a place even Google appears to not know how to find or spell. Lets just say they saw us coming... ok We cant stop there, The leaky toilet the missing tiles in the bathroom, fungus, that smell, the algae in the pool, not to mention the gaping hole in the restaurant ceiling.
Its a place much like the Viking at Sea-world that will forever be en grained in our memories in order to gauge the lowest possible end of accommodation .
