..... an extension power cord, fuel for the stove, pump for the air mattress, and on it goes.... all things I left behind. Had to go on a shopping spree.

Discovered early into the trip that I had also left my parking permit in my Subaru. Son was able to send that overnight to Adelaide.

But there is one thing I forgot, did not realise till I was almost in Coober Pedy, and can't afford to buy another - MY CAMERA! :(

I did throw in my old camera, just in case, but have not been able to get much in the way of good pictures. It also has a smudge on most pictures. I'm glad I have it. Furious that I left the good one behind.

To top all that, I am spending a few days in Alice Springs because the mechanic at the VW place in town wants to have another look at the van before I head back down south. He wants to see where and how bad the oil leak is.

Can't win 'em all.
