Never seen this before- if you need to use the dunny at night you shine your headlights onto the stainless sheet , it reflects upwards into the mirror which shoots the light into the mirrors on top of the shittoir ImageImageImageImage

More Déjà vu from 2021. Free cotton wool balls on the side of the road. Passed through those towns in annoying dry drizzle. O out of three cars had wipers working.

Lightning Ridge - I really wasn’t expecting much after being to Coober Pedy heaps of times I figured it would be pretty much the same but it is HEAPS better than Coober
Tons of stuff to see and do , nicely presented, better facilities etc - loved the joint Image first stop was an art gallery

This FC is parked up in a historic society lean to - it has ZERO rust and looks to be in great condition but not driven in years - it would be a great pickup Image

Then off to the artesian baths for a dip, parked between two Chevy Silverados or whatever they are called, slight differences in size…Image
