Day 17 - Arkaroola to Innaminka 4/10/15

This morning everyone was up early and packing up to go our separate ways. Once someone was packed up we would say goodbye to them as leave. It was a really nice morning and and once everyone was packed up and most people gone we left. The Butchers, Downs and Jackos are coming with us part way home and then we will split off. We took off to Monta Colina where we were supposed to stay but decided to keep going to Innaminka. When we got to Monta Colina the reason we didn't stay was because it was 40 degrees and there was no shade at all. There was nothing at Monta Colina except for buches and sand, it wasn't that nice of a place. So we had some lunch under Jacko's car annex. It was the only shade we could get so it was a quick lunch with everyone very hot before we took off again for the drive to Innamika. The drive to Innaminka was another 2-3 hours of very hot and cramped driving along the new strezlecki track. We stopped for a little break at a lookout to Moomba which was a really cool sight. Moomba is a gas mining station where they process the gas and burn off the excess. That's where the big flame comes from. It looks awesome! After we tried to take some photos from a distance we jumped back in the car and drove the rest of the way to Innaminka. When we finally got there and set up it was about 6:00-6:30 and thankfully for daylight savings that started last night, the sun was only starting to go down. We started the fire and started dinner before we all just sat around the fire for a bit and then went to bed.
