Yep! ... about 5 km north of Alice at the moment.

Kev Murphy · « **Reply #26 on:** April 07, 2017, 02:50:08 AM »

My guess is a warm bed and a good rest before travelling onwards.
Well done, Dave. Around 2100 Km down for the day.

Alice Springs

Kev Murphy · « **Reply #28 on:** April 07, 2017, 03:35:44 AM »

SMS from Dave, said he will be camping somewhere in this area for a few hours.

Kev Murphy · « **Reply #29 on:** April 07, 2017, 03:39:18 AM »

Top of the mornin' to you, Brookester!

Kev Murphy · « **Reply #30 on:** April 07, 2017, 07:54:07 AM »

Renmark is a further 1625 km ahead, when he becomes mobile.
Am waiting for Glympse link to become active again.
Link has been inactive for past 5 hours while he slept, and Dave probably having breakfast now.

Kev Murphy · « **Reply #31 on:** April 07, 2017, 09:25:46 AM »

No new link, yet.

Kev Murphy · « **Reply #32 on:** April 07, 2017, 10:18:30 AM »

Must have forgotten to reset it?

Kev Murphy · « **Reply #33 on:** April 07, 2017, 04:02:57 PM »

Dave is just pulling into Coober Pedy now.

Kev Murphy · « **Reply #34 on:** April 07, 2017, 04:08:54 PM »

Around 700 Km covered so far today, from Alice to Coober Pedy

Here's the new live link http://glympse.com/O648-ZQY5

Looks like photo time at the Big Winch lookout.

NT is crap for phone signal

Slept at Polhill road side rest area .... v nice but woken by furious flies!

Am at Kulgera road house now and heading for Marla then next stop will be Coober pedy.

Kev ..... will send Glympse again as soon as signal strength is decent.

This did not send

I am now in Coober pedy

Hot!

Have lost the bolts to BOTH exhaust brackets. Seem sturdy enough for the lament but will need to attend to at Renmark.

Kev Murphy · « **Reply #37 on:** April 07, 2017, 04:38:29 PM »

moving along... approx 530 Km to Port Augusta from Coober Pedy

spanner · « **Reply #38 on:** April 07, 2017, 04:47:58 PM »

Bolts not brackets

Kev Murphy · « **Reply #39 on:** April 07, 2017, 04:52:50 PM »

Slipstream wobbled them loose?

Kev Murphy · « **Reply #40 on:** April 07, 2017, 04:56:16 PM »

Out of phone range again, will pick up again further down the Hwy.

Kev Murphy · « **Reply #41 on:** April 07, 2017, 05:07:40 PM »

Kev Murphy · « **Reply #42 on:** April 07, 2017, 06:51:06 PM »

An intelligent guess would put Dave somewhere near Glendambo / Pimba at present, depending on whether he has stopped for a meal yet..

Kev Murphy · « **Reply #43 on:** April 07, 2017, 08:21:43 PM »

Glimpse link has expired again, will post Daves location when he sends me an sms of new link when he has phone connection again.

Not very good advertising for Optus ~~YES!~~ Maybe!, is it?

I used to carry an optus mobile wifi modem on my travels until I went to Broken Hill and bar Broken Hill itself was useless after I left Burra. I invested in a Telstra one after that ran out of credit and have never had any issues since.

Here's the new link

Kev Murphy · « **Reply #46 on:** April 07, 2017, 08:32:07 PM »

Just a bit over 1000Km today so far.

Kev Murphy · « **Reply #47 on:** April 07, 2017, 08:38:16 PM »

Lets see now, it is about 180 Km to Port Augusta from Pimba, so he should be there in around an hour and three quarters, roughly.

Kev Murphy · « **Reply #48 on:** April 07, 2017, 08:41:51 PM »

... and ... lost signal again.

Won't have anything until just out of Port Augusta and should be ok from there all the way to Renmark

Hold up at the bridge in the Port though depending on traffic - speed limit down to 25 k/h - the old bridge just east is no longer safe for foot traffic so pedestrians are using the main one - so state transport department reduced the limit - the fact that the bridge has a footpath each side of the lanes doesn't seem to matter.
