Tony’s car was difficult to start this morning. We went shopping and on trying to leave, the car would not start at all. Tony called RACQ and he started the car which Tony then had to take back to the depot. One cell was stuffed and Tony had to buy a new battery. He decided to get 2 new tyres at the same time. There was a one hour wait so Michael ferried us all back to the supermarket where there was a coffee shop.
Finally on our way at 11:00 (hehe we started out at 7:30).
It was an uneventful trip, we drove past the usual bush fires and saw some kites/hawks? patrolling the edge of the flames waiting to catch small fleeing creatures.
We decided to stop at Bramwell Junction for the night. Michael and I were lead car and happily pulled into Bramwell Junction. After waiting 15 minutes for Tony and Jen, and calling on the CB radio to no effect, we decided to turn back to see what had happened to them. Just as we pulled onto the road Tony came through loud and clear. Apparently they followed ‘us’ into the Old telegraph station. When asked if they needed any help (by the staff member), Tony told her that they were waiting for their friends in the Prado (pointing). She pointed to a couple and said they were the ones in the Prado. Jen said Dot was in the toilet!. Tony then had another look at the Prado and…..it wasn’t ours. Haha.
They got some info re: the ferry across the Jardine River, 100 cars waiting, one toilet, please don’t come up. Apparently it will possibly be repaired in 4 days. We are going to wait it out at Virillya beach.
