My most loved outback people, the road crews, ensured we made it to Innamincka. Ian grumpy bum still runs the Roadhouse and petrol had actually gone down from a 211lt to 205 a lt. We made the decision to head off to Tibooburra via Orientos and Sentos Stations. Now we are in Tib we have been told the best route was via Camerons Corner. We know why. We also drove past the end of the Willson Way!

Often we had to take to the bush to get around bad patches. This is after more than a week since the rain fell. At one bypass the right wheel of the van fell in a hole too deep for it and we could hear the chassis drag until the wheel found traction and up popped the old girl. She is a champion. It took us 4 hours to do 60 ks at an average of 15kph. But the country was magnificent and we loved it. We found a dry patch near the entry to Epsilon Station. A magnificent fire, sunset and a great nights sleep. There are oil drills from there on and suddenly the roads were not brilliant but much easier driving.
