Hello,
today is decision day with respect to our travel route. We decided to tidy up and see what the weather brings. The Strezlecki is still closed and any more rain in the north east will rule it out completely. Rain is forecast here later today so we will wait and see how much. If the canvas is only damp tomorrow we will pack and go. Unlikely the track will be open so we will back track to Peterborough and go up the Barrier Highway through Broken Hill. Will be disappointed to miss Innamincka and Cooper Creek but we are marking time and need to get moving.
Susan spent this morning finishing her spreadsheet and taking care of the washing and drying while i made cables to use our 240V to 12V dc fridge power supply as a battery charger. I left the inverter on overnight so the camper battery was a bit low this morning and there was no sun to charge it. I didn't fancy hooking it up to the car and driving so decided to add some flexibility to power arrangements. Susan decided to give our host's scone recipe a bash which meant an emergency trip to the fireplace for me to get some coals before the rain came. The scone was cooked just in time. It was delicious sliced up with jam and cream.
Then there was the rain for a couple of hours quite steady from about 4. Once again the canvas kept us dry although there was some splashing under the verandah.
The usual influx of new campers including another with a malfunctioning Pajero. Traction control fault probably a broken wheel sensor bashed by a rock on the track.
Cheers from a very damp and cool Copley.
Keep smiling everyone!
