Last issue Rod Taylor and mate David Tiller made their way from Darwin to Broome for an assault on The Tanami Track.
The first leg had its challenges, but crossing the Tanami meant facing starvation, flood, serial killers and flesh eating beetles.
The author was down.
There’s still a bit of tar from Broome to Halls Creek, but once you’re on the dirt you’re committed. There are no shortcuts. You can’t half do The Tanami.
Maybe it was that thought that leaked into David’s stomach, because it chose that moment to descend into a major dose of grumble guts. David rarely complains, but he was really crook. We couldn’t press on and spent another day in Halls Creek.
