Tues, 4th Sept, 2018 Mum & Dad’s, Cairns, Qld



Clear cool morning. Thermometer says 22 but it feels like 17.

More blogging then I looked at our trip back. Have to change our plans as we can’t access Len Beadell’s Gunbarrell Highway in South Australia as the land has been handed back to the Aborigines and no white person can travel those roads. We can do the first bit from Victory Downs to Mulga Downs as that is still in Northern Territory and then we have to turn north to Curtain Springs and go across to WA on the Great Central Highway. We have to get a permit for the NT section from one lot then another permit for the WA section. If we want to go down to the Surveyor General’s Corner (where WA, SA & NT borders meet) we have to pay the Aborigines $100 per vehicle road tax and $25 each person for an elder to meet us. Well I have a photo of the post off the internet so that will do us. I am over paying them to see our Australia. It is bad enough all the National Park fees but at least we get some facilities for most of them.

Dinner at home with Mum and Dad.

NO PHOTOS TODAY.
