Wed 11th Feb - Meekatharra

Well… God be praised our car is back on the road. On Monday we approached a local Broome mechanic and seeing the 25 plus cars in his yard already were very doubtful of getting the car fixed within 2 weeks, let alone immediately. After a few prayers for help we walked inside and they took the car straight through!
They then were kind enough to drive us to Broome main street where we walked around for 4.5 hours. Quite a feet when we didn’t know how much to spend as we didn’t know the hourly rate for a mechanic up here (ask us when we get home if you want to know but it’s nothing to sneeze at) . We ended up in the Broome visitors centre watching info documentaries. There is a natural 'phenomenon' where the tide changing rushes between a gorge so quick that it creates a horozontal waterfall. 11 thousand litres a second or something going through the rocks.
We left Broome 1pm Monday arvo and have been driving since (apart from sleeping time). Our country really is huge! We are now about to get diesel in a small town and heading into remote areas so if you don’t hear from us - have no fear - we will catch up with you soon.
Over and out!
