900 clicks on dirt today, South Aust into South West Queensland on a hot shot run out to rig 142.
2 bloody punctures and the damned jack broke on the first blow out.
4 hours till someone came along with a Jack that kind of fitted (and kindly gave it to me as they had a spare), but I still had to dig the tyre out on both occassions to complete the change.
Gibber plane is the devils hell on earth.
39 C today, clouds and thunder and lightening across the desert floor this evening - WAAA HOOO - love driving in that stuff.
Came home with no spares left - final 300 clicks had massive walking potential.
14 hours - but missed lunch and both smokos and dinner, cos I couldn't get to the messes at the right time. Water and tuna for this little black duck - but that's ok.
Keep safe guys - and suck the juice out of life, 'cos you're dead a long time.
