Double "R"

We left the bigger towns towards St George. The road had much less traffic than the coast. This is where we started seeing road kills and road trains, the double "R". It is sad to see the number of dead kangaroos and wallabies. Some were right in the middle of the road, which many vehicles cannot avoid going over.

Road trains were also common along this route. There are signs warning drivers of road trains over 36m and further out over 53m long. We had our first experience when a rock from one of these monsters hit our windshield, resulting in a chip and crack. Luckily its smaller than a $1 coin, which I was told should be fine. We will have to get it repaired when we are next back in Sydney. Thank god we took out the windscreen insurance cover.

We settled into a free camp area in Bollon, which has water. Made use of this and the early time we stopped by washing some clothes. I learned that we should wear running or hiking clothing as they are easier to wash and drip dry. Absolutely no jeans or cotton tees.

Its steak dinner tonight with potatoes and broccoli prepared by TJ. A family of 3 ducks are keeping a close eye on us the whole time.
