Had our first bush camp of the trip about 10 km's outside of the aboriginal community of Kintore. Found a Telstra communications tower off the road to camp around as the ground there is cleared from bushes and spinafex. Kids had another quick lesson on dangers of the bush before they helped collect firewood for the fire. Heated up our sweet curry for dinner, lucky we were hungry as it wasn't as nice as it could have been. I had cooked up a massive batch so we get...
