It was a 4 hour drive today to Bulawayo. We stopped in town for an hour to look around but then had to head to the camp ground to set up. We are quite a way out of town in a residential area. It looks like we are camped on some ones front lawn. There were more chores and put up tents. Again the mattresses got mixed up and I forgot I was 10A and took 10b by mistake.

The other 2 flights I had the row of seats to myself. Johannesburg airport is massive. I was expecting a dinky little place like Perth...

We went to Dwellingup again to drive the Capt Fawcett track again in the wet. We were expecting the holes to be full of water and we were not disappointed. All the camping spots in the Lane pool Reserve were full but Ray had managed to find us a spot at Marrinup. It was a little cosy but we al managed to squeeze in.
