Karumba

Got to Karumba last night, it is on the southeastern corner of the Gulf of Carpenteria in Queensland. One of my bucket list things to do is to travel the Savanah Way from Cairns to Broome and on this trip, we have covered a new section from a little way over the NT Border through Hells Gate to Karumba. The Hells Gate Road House was a great stop, roast lamb for dinner and a couple of drinks finished off a good day of travel. The road was not the best and we did spend some time cleaning bulldust from the van, it gets in everywhere. Today in Karumba we spent hours filling gaps with silicon, taping over vents and doing some minor repairs to the van. Screws worked loose, a clip on the battery box disappeared and a couple of wires under the van had to be cable-tied to keep them clear from flying rocks. Apart from those minor problems, all is going very well.
