Well I think the checkpoint in Katherine was fairly smooth. The way the regulations work is you cannot do any modifications to your car while at a checkpoint. You must stay for 30 minutes. So what we did is move the car out of the checkstop and make the quick fix (in addition to a tire change) and then left.
I haven’t mentioned the weather yet – but it’s been very sunny. However, the cloud cover has been building all day and is now filling in.
