Last night in Ravenshoe I was kept awake by a drip from the ceiling.... we had a leak!!! The dew had pooled at the front right-hand side of the van where it found a way in. Oh dear, something else to fix.

This morning Mr D simply altered the slope of the van, and after it had dried out, covered a small broken bit of sealant on the corner of the pop-top with some Tape. (You know, the most useful thing in the tool box!!)

This was the first night we had had a dew for about 4 months, it has been so very dry in WA, NT, and North West Qld. Dusty campsites have been the norm. Bore water meant we purchased drinking water. All the small towns we visited are doing it tough in the drought especially in Qld. Then we arrive at Ravenshoe, beautiful green, wet, Ravenshoe, waterfalls and misty mountains....

We're so lucky we don't have to deal with this drought, we can drive through and drive away. I hope the bits and pieces we on which spent money helped a bit. And the biggest problem we have is a leaky van roof, its nothing.
