Plenty Highway Saturday, 2nd July 2011

Last night, we were visited by native rats for dinner, hundreds of tracks evident on the route in along the river. Had a viewing of a meteorite shower known as June Bootids which is a yearly occurrence between 26th June and 2nd July. It occurs when Earth causes the orbit of Comet Pons-Winnecke, a short period comet which orbits the Sun every 6.37 years.

Make tracks and cross into the Northern Territory and onto the Plenty Highway near Tobermorey Station. Top up fuel at Jervois Station at $2.13 per litre.

Arrive at Gem Tree Caravan Park, camp oven scones for dessert, Dad is a great cook.

P.s Sorry about the untimeliness (?) of these blogs, however due to our remoteness and lack of 3G service occasionally. We are sure that you will all understand, thanks for your patience.
