Family gone bush, day 2: Set up camp, go to bore six kilometres away, fill 1500 litres in tank, go back to camp, start building, fishing, hunting and having a ball. One week later go back to refill tank at the bore and find the 20 kva generator gone, yes gone... What the ......?? Now we have a problem, not only because the genny is gone, on a locked road that nobody should be on, with big gates on both sides of rivers. But more importantly we have no water, and our part (air bags) for the bus is at the Pandion depot in Darwin waiting delivery on Thursday. Now we have about 150 litres in the on board tank strictly for quick showers, and 200 litres in mineral drinking water. So we should be alright until Friday, with a bit of whiff of course by then, before the bus will be fixed and we can head back into town to reorganize our water situation out here where our nearest neighbours are about 110 kms away. Oh boy don't know what the the reaction will be, when I get to town, looking like a true bushman with nikes and russell athletics on.... Modern day hunter or wanna be anyway. The building is going good and coming together well, the dog is injured after a big night hunt, the kids are having fire works tonight, and mum is feeding baby... I'm having a beer, catch ya.
