Broken Hill to Narromine NSW

Thursday 28th June 2018
Well what a morning. Freezing cold, fog everywhere at the racetrack, but we saw another sunrise. The facilities here were awesome for only $15 a night. Maybe we should have stayed in more of these. Also there was no noise.

So the big question is, will the car start today. We backed in to our spot but because it was windy last night we turned around to protect me from the wind while cooking dinner. We had bought petrol last night so if we start we could be ok for the day’s driving.

Lucky us, after a little fiddling the engine kicked over. Phew! On ward we go.

We were very surprised at how foggy it was and a little dangerous in regards to animals about as vision was poor. Anyway, my safety man drove as usual to the conditions and was happy sitting behind a caravan for the first bit, only achieving 140km in 2 hours. A big reduction in distance, extending our drive today or cutting it due to daylight.
We stopped at a roadside stop with a slight decline for lunch. I had to push again, but that was OK, we got going before we got to the highway. Yay!!

We stopped for the night at Narromine, cold cold cold. DB did some testing on the car and finally decided there was nothing he could do until we got home as it looked like maybe we needed a new starter motor again.  We had an interesting evening, a motor mechanic in the campground offered to have a look in the morning. So we will see what he has to say tomorrow.
