People sure wake up early in this part of the country. We were awake before 7am and one third of the campground have already packed up and left.
I cooked pancakes for breakfast (Rena's favourite) so that I could give the clothes a bit more time to dry before getting them off the line.
Whilst packing up I resorted the bags with the clean washing. Amazing how the bags can get all mixed up with Rena dressing herself now after a few days her bag is a mess, and well James we will just leave that one there.
While we were packing up we had a visitor, the lovely lady from the Perth group came over and gave us the list of must see places to do on our way down the WA coast line. A big thank you.
We then finished our pack up, it is amazing how much we have it down pat now, but after 6 months on the road you would expect that. Looking around and all the people are pretty much in the same situation. You can tell the newbies.
It appears that all our fellow travelers are happy to be here and exploring this wonderful part of Australia. Lots of happy faces around.
We got back on the road and head south. Not to far down the road and we come across the group from Perth (8 cars) and they are pulled over on the side of the road, James said it looked like a tyre or something had gorn. Such a shame as there are a really nice bunch of people. I hope it wasnt anything serious.
We kept on going as with 8 cars one extra would have just been in the way.
We kept driving until we get to the Hann River. We checked out both sides of the river, the southern side isnt really all that good for camper trailers, so we headed back to the north side and camped on the east side of the road underneath the shade of some trees.
Rena was happy as we pulled out all her toys and she got to spend the afternoon playing with her toys whilst James chased the sun with the solar and got the camp fire ready. Time to cook another cake and a roast for dinner.
I am still pinching myself every day, thanks Dave for letting me have a year off, and a even bigger thank you to my wonderful husband for having the same desire to explore this wonderful land of ours. Every day is a bonus with you. :) I am one very fortunate woman to have such a kind, caring and patient man in my life.
The around Australia trip is definitely "A must do" at least once in your life, it does change you.
