Well Mark and I just took a drive round town to the mechanics in the hope for some good news. Mark got all excited when he saw the car out the front… must be fixed!<\/p>\n

But… err… no. What Mark didn’t notice was the car was still on the tow truck \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n

Not a good sign…<\/p>\n

Billy told us that they had just been flat out and hadn’t had a chance to look at it yet, but the good news was they would look at it this afternoon. “Come back around 4 or 5pm” he said.<\/p>\n

So here we are in the “workers” town of Cloncurry. Hot, dusty and not much to do. There is pretty much no tourist stuff, and with only one car between 10 people, we are going nowhere fast.<\/p>\n

Hopefully when we drop back this arvo the car is all fixed, but at this stage it looks like we are stuck here for another night.<\/p>\n

Nothing more to do than get a bag of ice from reception and have a nice cool drink in the shade, where it is only 38 degrees…. not 40!<\/p>\n

At least the girls have made a new friend in Matilda, a little girl of similar age whose family is also stuck here waiting for their car to be fixed (a common problem here). Matilda has a learning disability, so she doesn’t talk much, but understands what you tell her. Perfect for our little princesses to order her around given she won’t talk back! Matilda’s brother has a blue tongue lizard, and they brought it over for everyone to see.<\/p>\n

Haha, was about to upload some pictures from Fi’s phone, but it seems she beat me to it!!<\/p>\n
