First day of our Outback New South Wales field trip

Everything is packed

After three days of delay because we had some trouble with the car and also it needed a service to be done beforehand, we finally started our field work trip today. It felt great to be on the road again traveling around the country and camping. This time it is for a reason, tracking data for Hema Maps.
Everything went smooth today we had the plan to go as far as St George which should have been our first stop on our trip. Half way we discovered we did not have all the keys with us. The keys we need to refill our water container of the trailer and also another one to get the shower working. This would especially be great in remote areas where we are heading to. Luckily our field work chief and colleague Al is coming tomorrow morning catching up with us to hand over the precious keys. Although we had a thorough checklist and we could tick off all boxes, we're now delayed again because there wasn't a checkpoint  for keys. Ahh well, we had therefore a relaxing afternoon.
Anyway we will enjoy our first night here in Goondiwindi and looking forward for to the road trip ahead. Cross fingers it won't bucket down too much, because at the moment we are surrounded by thunder and lightning.
