West Coast Mission: Day 13

We'd decided to head inland after Exmouth to check out Karijini National Park. It's somewhere around 700km to Tom Price, the nearest town to Karijini so we just did it in two trips and spent tonight at a free camp.

I woke up to Becky and Craig hurridly packing and asked what was going on, it wasn't like Becky to be up early, she usually needed gentle coaxing and usually from a distance with a cup of tea, full body armour and a big stick.

Becky: We have to leave. Now.
Me: Why?

I didn't recall being that loud last night.

Becky: We robbed the combi...
Me: (blinks) You did what now??

We'd found an orange VW camper abandoned on the side of the road and Becky wanted the badge off the front of it so we'd duly rocked up and taken it. This apparently wasn't enough, we'd managed to persuade her not to steal the actual van on account of her not being able to steer a fucking paddleboat, let alone a vehicle but she wanted the contents and after I'd passed out they'd all decided they wanted the contents too. They got chairs, clothes, cushions and Darragh got himself a hammock.

Oops!

The rest of the day was uneventful, the highlight being watching Darragh hang his new hammock and promptly fall through it.
