GTG - Day 8–The Birdsville Track

It’s a big day – The Birdsville Track. Yippee.

The Mawson crew are looking sharp, and it’s north or bust. 515 to Birdsville. Urgh. Maybe this isn’t such a good idea! Nah.

The road surface is better than expected. The scenery is pretty much on par with the last day or two – non-existant.

There’s more greenery than you would normally expect, and even some encouraging signs of life!

We camp near a thermal spring that the station owners have graciously plumbed into a water tank, and the water is up to 50 degrees – noice.
