As we were leaving Mt Isa at 6.30am we turned onto the highway and stopped to adjust the radios when we heard a loud bang followed by 2 more bangs, when we looked back we saw a road train had smashed the traffic lights we had just been parked at waiting for them to change.
We stopped at Camooweal for fuel and breakfast then onto an organised road side stop where we met the support crew for a fuel top up and stretch.
The next stop is Barkly Roadhouse where we had lunch and were told the road ahead was blocked by water in some causeways, form this point on the weather had cleared and was really hot for the rest of the day.
We arrived into Tennant Creek at about 3.00pm and noticed the bottle shop had bars over the windows and doors and were served out of a hole in the bars.
The accommodation for the night at the Bluestone Motor Inn was reasonable but old at least the air conditioning worked.
Total combined Klm's 4,129
