ADELAIDE - BEETALOO
We had a leasurely start to the day today.
Finally it was time to say goodbye and to be on our way. We headed west to Beetaloo, to our friends place, via Port Wakefield.
At Crystal Brook we were amused by the antics of a train carrying grain. The train was going across the crossing and all the cars were patiently waiting for it to finish going across when it came to a stop several carriages before the end.
Then it started to go slowly backwards. 29 carriages later it stopped again.
Finally it started going in the intial direction, picked up speed and disappeared. We wandered whether at the rail junction a bit further on it had gone onto the wrong track. It was not far from here to Beetaloo where we found our friend tinkering with his new toy.
He is going to rebuild the engine. His wife reckons he should rebuild the body as well.
It is Gray motor vehicle that was converted to a ute before utes were even on the market. The wooden wheel spokes were very interesting.
Another interesting night catching up and playing 'Oh Hell'.
