9-30 degC, fine and sunny, perfect day.
Today was a matter of getting from A (KAB) to B (Daley Waters) in a reasonable time. The only thing in the middle was lovely lush, bushy countryside and Cape Crawford Roadhouse, which we had seen a couple of days ago. We decided to get up early and after a quick coffee get the 21km of rough dirt behind us before stopping for brekky. The left side of the road on the way out wasn't as bad as the other side and we were determined to take our time. In the main the rest of the road was a great tarred surface, it was just the width that was the issue, as it went from single vehicle width to a wide two way highway. Most of the time we were the biggest vehicle so oncoming vehicles got right off the road, but there were some trucks and big boats that we got off the side for.
Refuelled and had mornos at Cape Crawford and then only stopped once for lunch and a comfort stop before arriving at Daley Waters about 2:45pm. We just made it in time as the place was absolutely packed about an hour after we arrived, even in the unpowered/ no water part. DW is a quirky little one-horse town with a pub and a servo. Every building is rustic with a lot of interesting junk laying around. They have a pet saltwater croc and wild pig which likes a back scratch. Well worth a couple of days seeing we're not in a hurry.
