The cart has arrived!

Today was the day Brendon and Matt arrived in Birdsville after 2 ½ days of driving. A long way on your own in the car.  Aside from themselves, their most important cargo was the cart and most (all?) of the gear needed for the walk. I think they are all a tad excited now!


While waiting Graeme did some more walking this morning (sand, birds and water…..) and went to the hospital clinic. Nothing serious – he bit his lip the other day and it keeps bugging him. Seeing as this is the only medical place in town it was off to the hospital when it was clinic day. He was given some kind of numbing cream so it’ll take his attention off it so it’ll heal. Also spent about an hour chatting to the nurses/staff about what he’s about to do.





The boys got there mid-afternoon so before the visit to the pub for dinner they got all the gear out for the trip to repack so it’s all ready to go for the morning.  The next few days will be crossing the desert with the aim to start walking back around Sunday.




Nice sunset over Margaret and David’s set up!
