We saw three Barn owls and two Tawny frogmouth road kills; also three Wedgies. Rob talked to someone who had camped south of Erldunda. He said the mouse plague was so bad there that the mice ate through the wiring under the bonnet of the car, causing headlights to flash! This explains the road kills - the birds were probably eating mice. We were told that sprinkling Naphthalene around the car tyres will stop the mice crawling up – but the hardware store is sold out of naphthalene! No problems with them here, but hope it’s ok further north!
It was relaxing to chill out in Alice for the rest of the day, catching up on chores and then how lovely to catch up on Skype with all the family in the evening!
