If that was an accurate count, then we could be encouraged that one way or another the banging would stop sometime tomorrow, but what if it wasn't? What if it was understating the count just so we wouldn't be discouraged?
Corrugations, dust and shallow dips notwithstanding, the road thus far had been exactly as we had expected, it's a dirt road. For all our bravado though, this might be a good time to remind our friends overseas who might be thinking of seeing a bit of Australia not to do this kind of trip without talking to us first!
We do have "a bit" of experience in these conditions, and despite its appearance (and perhaps the impression we might have accidentally conveyed), our vehicle is well prepared, properly equipped with recovery gear, and we have a number of contingencies in place should something untoward eventuate.
Note also that we are travelling in company with TWO fully equiped 4x4 vehicles.
They are no doubt taking great comfort in the knowledge that we are there pull them out of a pickle should they need it.
