20150529  Our van is still giving us grief so for the umpteen time so once we arrived at Halls Creek Des has to cleans the fuel pump only this time he finds heaps of dirt still breaking away from the fuel tank and needs an air gun to blow it out and lucky for us he finds a mechanic who is happy to help. After some photo's we refuel then we go in search of Mary's Pool, a camp spot we were told about, oops we just passed it, turn around Des.  Driving into Hall Creek and the town is occupied my many aborigine's lining the streets and parks but the town itself is quite clean.   A butcher with a sense of humor.

20150522   Now for another long teadest trip of nothing to see but bitumen and land so I might have a snooze while Des drives.   We camped at Mathison Rest Area which looked OK until Des went to the drop loo and came out gaging, the smell was so bad that when he lifted the lid to pee the fly’s nearly carried him away, he could taste it in his month for hours afterword’s, in fact that night the smell  lingered  through our bedroom window which we promptly closed. Apart from the smell it wasn't a bad camp ground. 23-05-2015 We didn’t hang around for breakfast we decided to stop at Sullivan Campground up the road a bit.  Des pulled up and opened the door and when I looked out there was a big terd on the ground, Oo that’s discusding and I quickly shut the door then Des came out of the toilet and stunk the van out, spray ya dirty pig, god I can’t get away from it. Our next stop was Timber Creek and scenery along the way is more delightful as we foll
