TUESDAY 24 JUNE     ADELS GROVE

Same roles as yesterday.

The truck arranged for the pals – coming to start collecting their rocks for the first stage of transport back to Sydney – broke down near the T intersection with the road to Gregory Downs. The men went out at tea time to fix it, so cook had to keep their food warm.

Eventually they all trundled in. The truck was a welcome sight, because it had been arranged that it would bring us an emergency supply of ice creams. We had Magnums again!
