Day 62 19/08/2013 Cue to Leonora via Mount Magnet, Sandstone and Leinster.A cloudless sky greeted us this morning. Even though close to the road, the caravan park had been very quiet overnight and the new ablutions, with individual toilet and shower rooms, were spotlessly clean. We were on the road just before 8am. We travelled at first through scrub plains and clay pans. We drove south to Mount Magnet where we stopped for fuel and supplies. The local supermarket...

Day 61 18/08/2013 Mt Augustus NP to Cue (via Meekatharra). This morning we drove 4km to a lookout, to watch the sunrise and photograph Mt Augustus. There was a little bit of cloud around to make the sky look more interesting. Back at camp we had a quick breakfast and packed up. Once again it was a cool start to the day. We left just before 8am. We had 340 km to cover to reach Meekatharra, and then a further 125km (on a sealed road) to Cue....our intended destina...

Day 60 17/08/2013 Mt Augustus NP.It was a clear and crisp morning and we were up early. Mt Augustus has a 49km loop road around its base, with access from this road to various walking trails. In addition to some short trails.....ranging from 20 minutes to 2 hours in length...there is a 5 hour return walk to the summit. We decided that doing all the shorter walks was a better option for us. The first walk was to Edney's lookout. This is a peak on the south east of...

Day 59 16/08/2013 Kennedy Range NP to Mt Augustus NP.We enjoyed a lovely sunrise, and, even though it was a 'moving on' day, a cooked breakfast! Then Dave decided to put into practice some of the advice he had received last night, and isolated the trailer brake system from the lighting system, in the lead which connects the trailer to the vehicle. Bingo! The brake lights are working again, so maybe the short circuit which is causing the fuse to blow, is in the tr...

Day 58 15/08/2013 Carnarvon to Kennedy Range NP.Fortunately we had no rain overnight, but it was a cool, overcast start to the day. The brake light problem has returned.....we will have to try to get it sorted out before we are back in civilisation! On outback roads with a cloud of dust behind us, no-one can see the brake lights anyway, and fortunately even on sealed roads in this region there is still not much traffic! This morning our route took us in an easter...
