We checked out the old Lake Crosbie Salt Mine and then west along the Mallee Hwy to Marrayville about 30k in from the South Australia border. We stopped for some basic supplies (beer and ice) but Mike and I were curious about an old scrap heap at the side of the main drag. There were derelict APC’s farm equipment and earthmoving stuff that’s been rusting away for years. It reminded me of an old friend in Western Australia, Alex McDougall, who ask me when I left WA about 14 years ago to NT, to keep an eye out for this kind of stuff. He was a buff and had rebuilding projects on the go in Perth. Oddly enough, I’ve seen nothing like this in the NT.

Then down the Nhill Murrayville road to a campsite call the Broken Bucket Tank.

Just short of the campsite we had to stop to allow a pedestrian to cross

After setting up camp Mike and Jan had fun trying out the new Tardis. Usually used to provide some privacy around our bush toilets but today we turned it into a bush shower.

We retired for dinner and I managed a great sunset shot of the Southern Cross Windmill and water tank, then some cards and to bed.
