SATURDAY 8 JUNE     MT ISA

Today was warm and pleasant.

After breakfast we drove to the shopping centre. I needed to stock up our food supplies for a few weeks – this was probably the last time we would be near a big supermarket for some time.

Topped up the Truck fuel – still 86cpl.

I bought the Weekend Australian and read that through the afternoon.

Late in the afternoon we packed up as much of camp as we could.

Tea was barra and fries – very nice.

There was a party at night in the house yard behind our van. It got rather noisy, but then the rather cold night seemed to drive them indoors and it quietened down. We could watch TV and then sleep in peace.
