Dimboola Campsite, Little Deser to Broken Bucket Borehole, Big Desert - 218 Km



MONDAY 12 JANUARY 2009

We were ready to leave about 10.00 a.m. and discovered we’d got a flat battery! The Manager of the campsite helped jumpstart the vehicle and made sure the battery was well charged before we left. It was lucky we were on a serviced campsite as the past four campsites were very basic and no Manager. We picked up supplies in Dimboola and then drove to the Big Desert.

We went along one track for about 17 Km and came to a very steep part with deep sand. Despite trying to dig a path, we couldn’t get the vehicle up the track, so had to turn around and go a much longer way round. A lot of the tracks were up and down and it was rather like being in a roller coaster. We got to a basic campsite by a waterhole about 5.30 p.m. very tired.

WILDLIFE: Fox, Rabbits, Galahs, Green Parrots, Birds of Prey.
