On the way to the Heads before sunrise. Wonderful.

And the sun rising beyond South Head.

7AM seals. Moruya River.

Interrupting reflections.

And mist all around.

Earlier, the van’s exhaust headed off to the sun.

But at this time the sun hadn’t risen above the horizon.

Three minutes ago. Can’t get enough.

Different camera settings. A plane or satellite is traversing through some of them, and a car arrived to throw headlights onto the scene in others.

This thing is serious no-nonsense, no frills. Called a “mega jet” and that’s what sounds like. It’s a rocket booster upside down, under a pot that gets its arse absolutely harangued.

It’ll save money, comparatively convenient, heating the pot quickly. And LPG is cheaper.

I set it up and ran it for the first time today, making sure to get it away from the van, and from me. That’s not a scorched ground it’s on, it was like that already. But it illustrates the ferocity of this thing.

Pleased now I got it.

Further update.

Bitey chilly during the night, not much sleep and left at 5.15am to escape council workers. Spent the morning making a new switch for the pump. Very useful for showers. It’s on the end of an extension cable.

Did that down by the river where I could spread out.

Then assembled the mega jet.

Then showered at Riverside away from everyone.

Lastly, bit the bullet and removed a clothes suitcase, walled tent that affixes the never-used awning, and a bunch of stuff, from the van. Trying to get it to travel lighter as I don’t want to labor it. Much better. Storage is chocker now.
