If you bump into Tiff - ask her why the cage around the replica of Beadell's surveying equipment is so interesting? :-)

The Terra on Trailer towing duty
|
Tiffany and one of her special friends - we were driving through heaps of spider webs strung accross the track through lots of the Gary hwy
|
|
Spinifex in the track through the Gibson
|
Burnt out trees lined much of the route
|
the Spinifex wreaked havoc with the vehicles - clogging up the radiators of many of the vehicles and sending engine temperatures soaring
|
Just a bit of seed
|
Yes, that is the radiator under all that seed.
|
Barren terrain of the Gibson Desert

Neeed Shaaade
|
An amazing lake with water in the middle of the Gibson Desert
|
Another stop in the Gary Hwy in the gibson Desert
|
Driving along, all of the Spinifex grass clogging up our engines, the crew in Andrew's 4WD suddenly found flames coming through the air vents
|
jumping out, revealed a grass fire in the belly of the vehicle
|
a lot of the electrical wiring (indicator lamps and tail lights mostly) was burnt through but amazingly we were able to carry on
|
One night after several days in the middle of the gibson, Liz and co surprised us all with a full-on lamb roast dinner and vegies and pudding
|
it was cooked in a pair of camp ovens plonked in the coals of the camp fire and was the best roast dinner i have ever had
|
|
Track? What track?
|
Ah, I think i can see the track...
