We had a leisurely morning before packing up camp. Some of these fellow travelers are all packed up and out of there just as the sun is rising. Must be on the express timetable, it is nice not to have to rush rush rush. One packed up and left at 1am not sure what that was about but woke me from my sleep :(
A big thank you to Peter and Dianne for letting us camp next to them, and to Peter for his assistance with assisting James in fixing James chair.
We headed back on to the Great Northern Highway and headed for the Willare Roadhouse, we had been told by a fellow traveler to make sure that our freezer was empty, as they sold really good meat cheap. They were not wrong. I just wish we had a bigger freezer. mmmmm Kimberley Lamb and Beef. So we stocked up the freezer with meat, had the obligatory ice cream and headed for Quondong Point.
When we got to Quondong Point we had a quick drive around to see what was available, and we decided on our little piece of heaven. The exact same campspot that we camped at 8 years ago. And yes Leaston it is still the same. Glorious.
Quondong Point is very very popular especially with the caravaners. There is one section that looks like an unofficial caravan park, it is full the to brim with big rigs and motor homes.
Well after a quick set up, we stripped the bed, (sheets were almost up and walking on their own), loaded up the water containers and headed to Broome in hope of catching the Post Office before it shut.
We got to the Post Office about 4 pm and stood in line for 1/2 an hour onlly to be told that sorry you are in the wrong place, mail collection is next door, so out one door, down the street, in the next door, and wait another 1/2 an hour to be served.
Only half our expected mail was there, so we will have to share the joy of the lady behind the counter one more time. I tell you, I know it was Friday afternoon, but her disposition was clearly displaying her dislike for the place and the need to go to the pub for a few drinks. I think she either needs a holiday or to change jobs, but then again if it was that busy every day all day by Friday afternoon I would be in need of more than one drink thats for sure.
Mail in hand (James was happy both his rum and air bags had arrived) we headed back to the car, grabbed out the washing and headed to the laundrymat only to find out that it closed in under an hour, so clothes in the machines and a quick dash to coles to get some food.
As James was putting the groceries in the car I was back in the laundrymat collecting our clothes, no time for the sheets to go in the dryer, so no sheets on the bed tonight.
James topped up the water containers, and that done we headed back to camp as the sun was setting. We got back to camp and thank goodness for coles BBQ chooks. A very healthy bbq and salad for dinner tonight before hanging out the clothes. (Yep Leaston samo samo as last time looks like a Bedouin camp). Groceries away and time for a cuppa before heading off to bed.
What a long day, feeling really tired tonight. Been sneezing all day, but with all the fires and the pollens around it isnt any wonder that my nose is running like a marathon runner.
