Then the next day we went up the coast to this tiny place called Karrumba. Awesome little place...right on the beach, all the aussies went up there for fishing. There were even people who'd driven up from Mildura right at the bottom of Australia, because they heard that it might flood, and they wanted to get all thier fishing gear up there!
It was perfect weather, so me and alex thought we'd try our hand at a spot of fishing. These two Canadian girls who we were supposed to be picking limes with had given us a fishing rod, so we went out and got a few lures, and tried our hand. I caught more weed than it should be humanly possible to draw in, and an old weight. Not as good eating as it sounds! :) Alex ended up catching something, but because it was a 10lb line on an 8lb rod, it just took the lure and went!
After that we went a bit mental and brought another 30lb line, but we couldnt get the lures out far enough...we never did catch anything after that. Bit of a shame, but never mind. I wont add fisherman to my list of talents! :P At least we had a crate of beer to keep us occupied whilst we caught weed and sunburn eh? :P
We just spent a few days doing that. It sounds pretty boring, but it was a really nice spot, everyone was really really friendly, and well. everyone deserves a rest after a hectic few years trying as hard as possible to do nothing, eh? :P
So yes, that was it. Karrumba. Awesome place!
Then after that it was alot of driving and stopping in rest stops. I did stop in Mt Isa for a bit of busking. There wasnt that many places to do it, but I did get stopped by a load of pissed miners on the saturday night, outside this pub, and managed to get $80-100 for only playing wonderwall. Fecking hate that song, but they were throwing twentys at me...yes! Made a bit outside the shop on the sunday mornng too, and then headed on a very long straight, and uneventful ride to Tennants Creek. The most exciting thing that happened was an oil change on the van that night I think.. :P
Anyways, Tennant Creek, as im sure ive said before on my blog, is a godawful place. Its got a really bad vibe about the place, and the local aborigines have this hungry look about them.. I thought it was just me, but I didnt mention it, and Alex said almost exactly the same words. So we drove through and stopped off at the Devils Marbles that night. They're a set off massive boulders that look like theyre standing on nothing (well, some of them. Youll have to look at the photos to decide for yourself!). It was a really cool campsite, real peaceful, and we had our own pet dingo. What more could you want? :) So yes, had a barbeque, went to bed, and drove the next day to.....
