Day Three–White Dam to Lake Hart. 22-4-16. 525km

Tony knocks on the door at 6:45 and asks how we are going!  We were going OK to our way of thinking, just the dishes and the van to set up for travel.  At 7:15 Tony is out on the track ready to go,he gets out of the car. “What happened to 8:00”, I ask. He shows me his watch – 10 to 8.  I show him mine 7:20,  he had not turned his watch onto SA time.  “No wonder you thought I was rushing you” he said.  On the road by 7:30

Drove to Peterborough – coffee and cake for some, fuelled up and did our shopping  PB is a very friendly RV town, caravan parking, dump site and potable water. Most of the small towns we have passed through are RV friendly.

Tony sends through a call to tell us of a large vehicle coming our way.  We are about to go up a hill and decide to pull over and stop.  the escort vehicle comes down the hill and stops at the lefthand turn immediately at the bottom of the hill.  When the vehicle comes over the brow of the hill we are so  glad we stopped, it is enormous, taking up 1 1/2 lanes, we would never have passed him there.  When he gets to the bottom, he swings right out to take the corner – a simply huge farm vehicle of some sort.

Stopped at Pimba for fuel, only 2 diesel bowsers, but only one available due to  the lady in the car in front locking her keys in her Land Rover.  During the 15 mins we were there, it was still not open, despite the petrol station staff assisting.

Drove on to Lake Hart, have a small walk and camp for the night.  It is very windy.

304 km, 61 litres.   Very good given the numerous steep inclines
