I saw lots and lots of emus, hawks looking for prey and goats, in the middle of the road mind you.  We camped on the side of the road again, this time at a place called Round Hill (sort of just a truck stop).  We had another fire.  It was really freezing cold (about 4 degrees) and the wind was blowing between 37 and 45 km per hour.  It rocked our caravan all night.

This was a really cold and windy night.  Glad I had my thermals on.  The boys have not had a bath since we left, however, I had a bath when cooking dinner as it kept the inside of the van  warm.  I was turning sausages while washing my face; that is multi skilling for you.  Looking forward to going into Broken Hill tomorrow and hopefully looking to stay approx 2 nights to catch up with homework and laundry; oh, and more important, having a shower.
