The trip that almost never happened. Kym and I were all sorted with leave from work, but Andre assumed no chance of getting time off after a xmas break. Matt, true to his word, declined immediately. Will had a trip to Darwin booked already. At the last moment, Kym and I decided we'd throw the swags in the car and go for a road trip whilst on leave, and most likely end up driving all the way to Fowlers - we had a few weeks off, so why not? :D
Informing Andre of our plan (what little plan there was)... the realisation of missing out on a FWC trip set in and he put the wheels in motion at work. Week 1 was turned down, but his boss agreed to Week 2 off! So, with that, the three of us are heading off this coming Saturday to endure the heat!
The pictured thermometer didn't last long after the last FWC trip. It was 54 in the sun that day, but it got far hotter the following two days! I've now replaced it with a wireless version which is great as the cord isn't going to get demolished running from the back of the car to the front (exactly what killed this one). The hot weather is good, but hopefully it stays a little cooler on this occasion.
