Day Four

A moon was still shining the next morning as Garry and Tyron were having a wash . Many shrank back to their tents and slept in . When breakfast was had and everyone refreshed we ambled back on to the bus and continued toward SA .
The bus trip was very uneventful except for the bad smells that Michael continued to let go.
A stop at Eucla was required to drop our trailer off because we were crossing the border and fruit wasn't allowed back into Western Australia . We then checked out the old telegraph station . All that could be seen was a few old brick pillars , the rest buried by the shifting sand dunes. Some people went to look at the old jetty on the beach . The beach was really just seaweed and not very interesting. Others went and played in the sand . The dunes were huge and lots of fun was had . Even though the sand stuck to us due to dirty bodies that hadn't showered for days

We stopped for petrol in SA at the border village and continued into SA . The Great Australian Bite was our lunch stop . Many went for walks to burn energy and explore some more .
We stopped again at the Border Village to take pictures , many wanted to be body searched by the quarantine inspector but none so lucky. Eagles Kangaroos and Madura Pass was our entertainment for the bus trip back an early night was had by all.

Day Five

It rained on the bus that night with many members paying back Ryan for wrong doings throughout the trip. He wasn't impresssed but revenge is sweet.
A straight drive to Kalgoorlie with a short stop at Norseman to pee . We were on a mission to check out Hay Street and the Town Maccas .( Leaders Note , Not one Venturer realised they were on Hay Street till passing a sign that was a complete give away.)
Everybody re-grouped so we could watch an explosion at the Super Pit . We were told to look somewhere but most didn't pay attention and when the blast occurred most missed it and only got the smoke and dust afterwards.
We then piled on the bus and stopped at a truck stop for our last night . Marshmallows were had next to the fireplace as stories were told .
For the first night the stars were seen without clouds covering them up . Most went straight to bed and dreamed of showers and soft beds.
