We arrived at William Creek just before nightfall and realized we were not going to need a lot of time to check out the town, it was limited to just a pub. Conveniently the pub had an area where one could set up camp which we did, then surprisingly another vehicle pulled into the camp ground, a Troopy with a pop top, this led to conversation and ultimately some company to hit the pub with later.

We spent three days in Adelaide catching up with family.The weather had been bad for the whole time, wet and cold, and the morning of the 12th was no different. We went looking for odds and sods for our trip inland, importantly a spare tube for the 4WD and tyre levers.

We had phoned ahead and booked into accommodation in the Mt Augustus resort and also made a reservation for the evening meal.Our first stop was at the Minilya river to check out the very original tractor which appears to have been steam driven. Then it was off south again until just short of Carnarvon where we turned off to Gascoyne Junction, where we took a quick drive ar...
