SATURDAY 17 JUNE     TENNANT CREEK

My father would have turned 90 today.

It was a lovely day again.

We had thought about driving out to the Davenport Ranges National Park, to the south of here, to stay for a few days. But I decided that it would be a long and rough trip, involving some 160kms each way of possibly corrugated dirt roads, and therefore not good for my back in its current state. Something else for the “next time” list.

I started taking Brufen today, to try to settle the back down, and had a fairly quiet day.

After lunch, we walked up to the main lookout – that loosened up the back.

Tea – leftover chow mein for John; tinned tuna and salad for me.
