So our recent explore down the Ross Highway, East MacDonnell Ranges turned into a new job for Brad at Ross River Resort. 

Before moving down to Ross for an initial 3 months work, we decided we'd take a trip to Devil's Marbles......100km north I was driving along and the bus motor blew.  3 days on the side of the Stuart Highway and we loaded on a tow truck and arrived to our new home and employer - "Hi, we're here, and not going anywhere for a while". 

Daisy instantly made a new friend of the resident Tiger, and we settled in only to have the Suzuki gearbox die.  Sent it Adelaide and 4 weeks later they said they can't fix it, so 7 weeks later, waiting for a gearbox to be sent from Queensland.  Well things were all going a little too smoothly I guess.
