ADEL GROVE

Went for a walk up to the hotel at Gregory river and had cuppa at the hotel, best cuppa since home as the water doesn’t usually taste that good when boiled. The couple there were in their second day as they care take hotels. (Had been through Port Kenny in the last 12 months.)

Left for Lawn Hill about 1030 and followed a road train all way to the turn off to Century Mine, very dusty. We continued on and about 20 k’s on and having not seen anyone we turned back to find we were on the correct road all the time.

Adel Grove is an Oasis in the very dry and dusty plain, we had walk into “The ‘grove” which is completely covered in big shady trees so camped in there, there is no power anywhere so was lot better than the cara sites up top.

Had to do some repairs on the van as a wire from the electric brake had been rubbing on the tyre and beginning to cut in also the guard I put onto the shocker had gone so made prototype 2.
