June 15th

EC is parked in our driveway in readiness for departure. Already we have more than enough on board. Hope there is space for me! We hope to leave Milawa about mid morning tomorrow.

A rain band is coming across Australia. This is good for our country but not so good for travellers. Some of the roads in South Australia, that John has planned in our itinerary, are now closed because of wet and muddy conditions. It takes very little rain to make outback roads impassable.

We will head west in the morning and see what eventuates with roads and weather. Bitumen roads will be more attractive until the roads dry out.
