The weather is starting to heat up. 41 deg the day before yesterday, 40 yesterday and 39 forecast for today. Two free camps sitting in the shade and we're ready to spend a day or two with the air conditioning on, so the Fitzroy River Lodge it is. It's also close to Fathers Day. It's a little Oasis. The only place for miles around with grass and shade, and it has a pretty good restaurant as well. Not much else here in the area except Gieki Gorge.
A couple arrived in the park today with a car problem. It's a Mitsubishi Tritan I believe. They were on their way back from Tunnel Creek, towing a 2.5t van, had about 250kg's in the back with a tent on top. His wife heard the chains rattling so they stopped. He'd actually broken his chassis. It took them 4 hours to crawl back to the highway (40km's). Their chassis cracked along the welds used to hold the cab mounts. Fitzroy Crossing is not the place to have that happen.
