Having left Alice Springs and crossed the Tropic of Capricorn (23 degrees 44 minutes) the weather has promptly turned tropical! Forget sleeping in three layers of thermals, fleece and down, under two layers of doona and sleeping bag, wearing a beanie, protecting things from overnight dew, and needing Ugg boots.
John has gone on a rampage packing away any item of clothing that looks remotely like something everyone at home would be wearing right now.
And even better, we’re on our way to Mataranka Springs for a dip!
