Problem Sorted!!!

After a forced layover in the Barkly Homested Caravan Park, the Discovery has finally been re-shod with a new front prop shaft, and all seems to be working well.

There is much joy in my heart to be able to leave, and much thanks to J and M for the short little trip top Tennant Creek to pick up the part. The hospitality of the homestread staff, particularly in letting us use the mechanical pit, made the job MUCH easier.

It is with much joy that we hook up, and prepare for a longish 520-ish km drive to Dunmurra. All is ready for a 7am departure.. WHOO HOOOO

I am sure I shall sleep well tonight, as the past few nights have been with some anxiousness underlying.

More soon..
