After brekky we drove to the Kalkani crater to have a walk. It was about 17 kilometres from Undara with about 6 kilometres on unsealed road. Luckily the road wasn't too badly corrugated and although we had to go slow we got there no problem. The walk was up and around the rim of the crater. The volcano has been dormant for a very long time and the entire area was filled with grass, trees and scatterings of volcanic rock.The view from the rim was great down into the crater and across the endless bush to the horizon. The skies are big out here and the vastness of the place is incredible. As we head further out into the outback now through more and more remote country the skies and the incredible vastness is I'm sure going to become more and more awe inspiring. It started spitting with rain towards the end of the walk but it didn't stay wet for long. We then headed back to the main highway which was very quiet all the way today. It is brilliant driving on such quiet roads. It is back now to 'waving roads' (Roads so quiet that people wave as they pass each other). I haven't been on a proper 'waving' road since completing the Nullarbor Plain. About half way to Georgetown the highway became single lane for long stretches interspersed with some sections of two lane road. I had to concentrate a lot harder driving on roads like this and look for vehicles coming the other way. When they did you have to slow down and drop two wheels into the dirt at the side so both vehicles can pass. The road trains have to be given a wide berth as they thunder along and don't seem to slow much. The road trains are American style prime movers hauling three or four trailers. They are huge beasts.The scenery was flat and open bush as far as the eye could see in each direction. We covered about 150 kilometres today and got to Georgetown by early afternoon. We went to get some fuel and then we found the Goldfields Caravan Park. It was a cute and quirky little site. We settled in and then I went for a swim in the public pool which was free. It was only a two minute walk down the road. I got a token from the caravan park which opened the gate. It was a really lovely clean pool and pretty big. When I got there I had the whole pool to myself which was great. Shortly after I was joined by an older couple. They were really lovely. They had come from the other direction to Georgetown and told me that there were more single file roads to come. It was a lot hotter here than at Undara and the swim was very refreshing. Later on in the day the heavy rain returned but thankfully it was only briefly. We chilled out for the rest of the day and sweltered in the heat. It was slightly worrying for Jay that there was a sign above each toilet stating 'Please close the toilet lid to keep the green frogs out'!!!! Luckily we didn't see any frogs in the toilet bowl or otherwise but after dark there were loads of the big flying cockroaches all around the toilets and showers. The owners of this caravan park had a good sense of humour and we went to sleep laughing about the notice that they had put up in the camp kitchen. It read:-

AUSSIE BUSH ETIQUETTE IS RECOGNISED THROUGHOUT THE CIVILISED WORLD BUT WE ALL NEED TO BE REMINDED FROM TIME TO TIME

3. It's tacky to take an Esky to church
4. If you have to vacuum the bed, it's time to change the sheets
5. Even if you're certain you're included in the will, it's rude to take your ute and trailer to the funeral.

PERSONAL HYGIENE

1. While ears are to be cleaned regularly, this should be done in private using one's OWN ute keys.
2. Even if you live alone deodorant isn't a waste of money.
3. Extensive use of deodorant can only delay bathing by a few days
