13/7 Purni Bore to Rig Road Campsite
We woke up to a pretty cloudy sky and sure enough, later in the day it started to rain. Thankfully it was only a light drizzle that came and went.I went to inspect the hot water oasis and the actual Purni Bore hole.
After packing up we left and continued on the French line until we got to the Wonga junction. There we turned right down the Rig Road. The idea was not to only drive the French line, but go down to the Rig Road as well. We drove all the way down to the Mokari airstrip and then on-wards on Rig Road.
We started to look for camping early afternoon and eventually found a nice spot just behind a large sand dune. It had some trees, which we planted our self next to to get shelter from the southern gale that was blowing on top of the rain!
After setting up camp we also started a camp fire and had a great evening. Towards dusk three Emu's came along for the party, but decided not to stay!
