SATURDAY 17 SEPTEMBER     MT ISA

Drove to the shops again.

I bought the Saturday papers to read.

John refuelled Truck. Had done 350kms. $1.17 cpl.

Shopped at Woolworths. It felt really strange to be in a supermarket again – almost overwhelming. There was just too much choice and too many decisions to make.

I had not anticipated quite how hard it would be to return to civilization!

Lazed around at our van for the rest of the day. I read. John watched the football – it was preliminary final time.

Again, the urban night noises were too obvious.
