With the tent erected, the first task was to repair a pin hole in the bed. We assume I had pushed it, the bed, too hard against the side of the tent and a small prickle had pushed its way through and embedded itself, allowing a slow leak over night.
The camp shop at Fitzroy Crossing only had a tyre patch (which we bought). The assumption was that the patch was a self adhesive one.
Apparently not. Kiwi ingenuity came into play and our first aid kit put to use.
( I can now say we have proved it to be correct that Elastoplast does indeed breathe. Yes we still had to top up the air in the mattress every night before retiring - but not as much as before)
Having made the decision to relax for the rest of the afternoon, it was not too long before the sun started to go down. We had seen that there is a sunset viewing point, so off we went. None too soon. Only just in time to admire the changing colours in the hills.
We go to bed tonight looking forward to the walks we have planned to do around the National Park.
