Evil Oddie

We had pancakes for breakfast this morning.  The boys were still pottering around the Jeep to make sure everything was okay.  We let all the other cars go before us incase we had anymore problems.  One  thing that I’ve noticed already is that people have defaced the Poles that were used for the OTL.

It really annoys me that people can’t respect property and give all the other people doing this trip the chance to see the history of the Line.

Today was the day I got to drive the GU through the OTL.  I will admit that I can’t drive as quickly as Glen, but we were also going slow to see if the Jeep would be okay (my excuse anyways).  Alex has been driving the Challenger for a lot of the way because Luke’s ankle is still really quite bad.  Alex and I are alike with driving.  We don’t enjoy driving just for drivings sake.  We drive to get from A to B.  I’m not sure if Luke realises the sacrifice that Alex has made for him during this trip… Not giving Luke a hard time – I think any boy wouldn’t appreciate how much pressure it puts on us girls who don’t have that much experience.

Anyway, during my driving stint, Glen was crapping himself.  “You’re too close to the left”, “Slow down”, “Did you see that hole in front of you?” and “Change gear” were all said quite often.

We saw an Australian Scorpion at camp!

We made camp at Delahunty Creek and we decided to stay for two nights. The first night was pretty warm and there were lots of flys; other than that, it was an awesome campsite.

We went for several swims.  There was a small waterfall and at the top, there was a small spa like area where all of us could fit.  I went total bogan style and washed my hair with Eco Soap.  It wasn’t a good look.

Camp oven Pizza was for dinner.
