Spent the night feeling like we were in the bowels of a sailing ship- rocking side to side, canvas flapping and poles creaking. But woke up in one piece although a little sleep deprived (me). Of course David slept like a log as always oblivious to it all.

Short drive  only today from Hawker to Rawnsley Park Station. 

We are off grid  camping at Rawnsley and sites are beautifully secluded. While neighbours are probably about 30m away you have to look to find them.

Set up camp in gorgeous sunshine and howling gales- took a couple of times to get the direction right so we didn’t become airborne in the process.

We have absolutely million dollar views from our ‘front porch’, 

Too windy for a fire tonight but upside is that washing has dried in 3 minutes flat- although David’s jeans did do a turn around the neighbourhood. 

 David just dashed down to the little store before it closes to see if they sell guy ropes – thinking we may need some extra tonight. Meanwhile I’m brewing coffee and plotting out our walks for the morning.  It’s due to rain tomorrow but we’ve decided we’ll walk anyway- let’s see if our resolve holds in the face of reality!
