30th August 2016 Serpent Hill – Birdsville.



Lots of wind during the night and have woken to a sunny, warm and extremely windy day.  Lyn & Kevin are having trouble putting their camper down so there is a little maintenance going on at the moment with Barry on the floor trying to tighten or loosen something so it will work. There is now a lot of traffic on the road all flying along to get to Birdsville and the skies look very stormy. On the Birdsville track and Barry only had 2 places where we had to stop and engage 4WD, the rest of the track was really good and at some stages were traveling at 90kph.  Have had a little drive and look around Birdsville after filling with fuel and having a Birdsville pie for lunch.  There are tents going up everywhere with souvenirs and a boxing tent as well as lots of people milling around the Hotel, all the camping has to be away from the town centre so we are camped in a nice spot away from everyone at this stage but heaven knows if that will stay the same as it gets closer to the race on a bit of a hill just in case it does rain. Caravan park is $40 per night with no power and they are all squashed in, certainly not my idea of a nice place.
