Leaving Mt Dare/Heading South - home....maybe. July 31 - Day 26 back on track.

STATS:
Distance Travelled: 145kms

So we finally got all cars on the road, and sadly left Mt Dare.  We had no option to return home via Kulgera again (which made it our 4th trip out the same route)

We made it as far as Lambert's Centre again - it was nice to pull up early in time to collect wood, set up camp, cook a good chicken curry and still be in bed early.

Leaving Mt Dare for the last time. Ska is looking particularly pristine compared to the Disco and Dad's Ute.
More of Mt Dare, the fuel pump on left, and workshop in the middle.
The tank and grader (not sure what that did)
The view of the road out of Mt Dare....what was ahead, we had no clue.
Not too many still photos, but I have some good videos, most too big for the blog, I will see what I can put on later.
Eremophila by the roadside.
and another.
and another
and again.
and again.
This is looking across the Finke river, we went over and back to have a look. A week earlier this track was shut due to the water across the road.

Here was the only remnants of that water.
Looking back at the crossing as Dad comes across.
Dinner at the Lambert's Centre campsite.
Sunsetting beneath the clouds at Lambert's Centre.
And inevitably the dishes have to be done....
Here are some of the videos of the road/river out of Mt Dare. This was exciting stuff.


This one shows Stef leaving a puddle and Dad driving through.

and this one is a long one taken from Ska's dashboard of a long line of water we drove through.
