Friday 18th July.
There was no hurry for us to get away this morning so we had ample time to pack the
Sat remaining things up. A short stop in the town of Camooweal to fill up with water etc then it was on the road heading towards our next planned stopover at the WWII Airstrip free camping area which is only about 140 km's East.
On arrival at this spot we found a very extensive network of dirt tracks leading away from the highway to a very large number of great camping spots in the small scrub. The remnants of an airstrip could be quite easily picked out as the absence of most shrubs made it quite obvious.
We counted about 15 other caravans and Motorhomes already settled in to their chosen spots.
Beside the highway there are chemical toilets, covered picnic tables and a number of open fireplaces with plenty of nice dry wood available. As we mostly carry a limited supply of our own firewood we decided to light our own fire at our campsite and cook dinner tonight over the fire.
Strange creatures aren't we ! The indigenous people would love to have some of the creature comforts that we the "whities" travel all around the country with, but frequently choose to revert back to the basics and cook on an open fire.
