Day 42 – Redbank Gorge back to Alice

We start the drive back to Alice, It’s not far before we hit Glen Helen, and to our surprise there is Optus coverage, and some guys see us on the phone and ask us who were with, they’ve got Telstra and no coverage.

This is the 2nd time there’s been Optus and no Telstra. I can only think of one site that had Telstra and no Optus. There have been plenty of places with nothing.


I’ve got a couple of days’ worth of email and a few phone calls to make. We call Wonderland and also the local Dometic repair centre. They say they can look at it, but don’t give me any specifics of when they can look at it.

A rather uneventful drive back and we choose to go back to the Big4, we figure we know it and the kids will be entertained while we wait for the fridge to be repaired.

It’s for reasons like this I have factored in a “free day” each week into the itinerary, although I feel sorry for Dawn that we’ll might miss out on some of the other sites I’d planned on visiting. Having said that, she may enjoy the sights of Alice.

It’s at this point I find out I need to quickly return to Sydney for a few days, more on this later. Flights booked, I’m off tomorrow.
