In
this issue we visit Keep River National
Park, situated right on the WA/NT border.
I'd
heard several times that it is a very
underrated park and, having now been there,
I agree. It's a marvellous place to visit
and only a few kilometres off the highway.
So
next time you're up that way do yourself
a favour and spend a little time at Keep
River.
Also,
we find another gem, Marlgu Billabong
in the Parry Lagoons Nature Reserve. Once
again it's not far off the main drag,
and once again it's a great place to spend
some time. Especially if you're into birdwatching.
Temperatures
I quite often mention the temperature
in the diary so thought I would explain
what the figures mean in real terms.
We
have a thermometer in the lounge room
and that is what I use to obtain a temperature,
therefore the figure I report is that
of the inside of the truck.
We've
found that, typically, the truck is 1-2
degrees warmer inside than the value reported
by, say, the weather report of the day.
When you consider that we don't park in
the shade, because we need light for the
solar panels, but directly in the burning
sun, I think the truck is doing OK at
stopping the heat.
Till next time
then, and remember,
don't
dream it, be it! |
