Day 90 – Off on the Tanami track

Today we were finally back on the road and hoping that we get to WA and through the first bits safely until we can have parts replaced in Broome.

Chris got a few bushman mechanic spares ready to tackle whatever the car would throw at him and the girls enjoyed stopping at Bunnings and doing the Bluey treasure hunt. The simple things 😅

Then it was time to hit the Tanami track! We’ve researched all the different stops and fuel options and hopefully we would have enough in the Jerry cans to last us until Halls Creek! It was actually a pretty pleasant drive and we stopped for some lunch at Tillmouth Well. It had a playground and the food was yum, so happy days.

We had a good run and decided to drive as far as we could in the hope of doing the track in 2 daysrather than 3, to make us some lost time… 

Our camp for the night was a lovely, quiet free camp with not a soul in sight and a few random things to explore. The girls loved playing Duplo again and we had tacos to use the rest of the veg before we hit WA quarantine.

WA is very strict on fruit, veg and honey being brought it, so I had been planning our purchases and consumption carefully the last few weeks, but there was going to be a lot of berries to be eaten tomorrow! 

Despite Chris lighting a fire it was still a freezing cold night and we didn’t last long sitting outside!
