The least likely place I would have chosen to live it up in a hotel but alas we've been at Kimberley Hotel in Halls Creek for five
days now. There were only two choices and we couldn't get in the Best Western so a deluxe queen we have in the town's historic hotel. I can tell you we have been taking full advantage of access to a tv, our own toilet and shower.
Emma, thanks to you and Cameron, if we couldn't find our fill on tv then we enjoyed a few selections from your hard drive.
The hotel stay had two reasons:
- My lovely Kakadu Tattoo needed medical assistance as well as some proper cleaning - on the mend now but will likely have a great scar to tell the tale.
- The camper had an accident that left it a 3-legged one.
Yes, the track in Gregory gave a beating to the camper on one of the steep creek crossings and then add an over extended lift to level the camper back and we had a stuck pole with the camper raised off the ground.
Matt quickly went to work as the sun was setting and we could neither drive it or sleep in it as was. Plus we were a full days drive away from civilisation and a whole lot more 4wd track before we reached the dirt highway.
The new pole was meant to be here in Halls Creek within the week but seems like we have another one to go (never use Couriers Please!). So we are going to head on to the Bungle Bungles with a 3-legged camper and return to Halls Creek after with hopes the pole will be here by then. Matt will do his magic again and reinstall the pole and motor.
It's all part of the adventure!
