Two days' journey.
In the morning, I arrive at Ceduna to refuel, wash my car, and shop for a new (less powerful) inverter – along with many, many spare gas bottles, of course. However, it looks like it's a little too late by now, because the more I look at the battery, the more it appears to be the source of the problem. It doesn't hold any charge at all, and drops to 11-odd volts almost as soon as I unplug the solar. Looks like it's time to ditch the sucker... but it's too difficult to find a decent deep cycle battery in these parts, so I need to drive further to try my luck elsewhere. In Adelaide, perhaps?A sunset on the shallows.
The tide is rolling on.

I take off in the morning and stop near Kyancutta to work for a bit, which turns out to be a torture. It's extremely hot (slightly past 40), the battery is barely holding enough charge to power the fridge... in short, it's not going to work, even with the new inverter. Damn. I could shop for a new battery in Adelaide, of course; but it looks like there's no point in staying outdoors anymore, because it's just too damn hot if you're not near the beach. Might as well go back home at this point.Near Horrock's Pass.
Some interesting clouds here!
