Day 7 7-8-11 Wolfe Creek Crater

Jill P is well this morning
Michael and I had a slow start today.  Yesterday we let some air out of our tyres to make going over the corrugations ‘softer’.  Tony thought that we shouldn’t have let them down so we went to pump them back up with our new compressor.  The back tyre went up OK then blew the fuse in the ‘cigarette lighter’, so poor Tony had to get his compressor out and finish the job for us. Everyone went on ahead of us.  We did catch up about morning tea time.
But….we now can’t charge our phones or use the GPS.  Sigh..
We had  quite a good run, the Tanami Track is in quite good condition, although the dust was pretty bad, we had to  travel quite far apart so that we could see.  We drove on the right hand side of the road quite a bit.
Passed a guy on a pushbike – way out here!  Poor man was covered by our dust.
Again some really great flowers along the road.  
The Wolfe Creek Crater is very impressive we walked to the top of it.  It is 20 metres deep but they believe that when it was made by  the meteorite it was 120 metres deep.  The meteorite was as heavy as a battleship and 850 metres across.
This campsite is very crowded, there is only a small camping area.
We start at 8:00 again tomorrow.
Thanks for the chocolate and chips Tara – greatly appreciated
