Derby

Tuesday 16th September

We arrived at Derby late this afternoon. We were going to stay overnight at Halls Creek as I wanted to go to see Wolfe Creek as in the movie, but it was another 170km drive so we decided against it. We could not be bothered driving 170kms just to see it and come straight back again.

It was the longest we have spent in the car since we left Melbourne. We drove for eight hours today, or should I say David drove for eight hours. It was 40 degrees so it was very hot. It was so hot the front windscreen was hot and the cd’s were getting too hot to play. We are staying here for two nights. It was still very hot when we arrived and this caravan park does not have a pool. We did not do anything once we arrived; we were all very tired..
