Lucky we watched reruns of ‘The Bush Mechanics’ as part of
trip prep cause we experienced a couple of issue in quick succession.
As we were running low on fuel and 200km from the nearest
town we stopped at Roper Bar General store and bought 20 litres of fuel @
$2.40/L? Then the car would not start – yikes.
15 minutes of stuffing around determined that the battery terminal had
come lose and it was only corrugations that kept us going until this point! As
I was packing up Tommo (someone who stopped to help), said “There’s you’re next
problem” and pointed at the cracked weld on our trailer hitch - great. Nothing
major but not really something you want when travelling 60-80km/h along dirty
roads with dips and causeways. This was solved by a boiler maker at Katherine
with a big hammer and a couple of sparklers ;-)
