Last night we woke up to rain and very strong wind. Couldn’t believe it after the two beautiful hot days in Perth. We were on the top (10th) floor of our hotel and the roof was making some unusual noises. It lasted for over an hour then quieten down again but still raining. Still a little rain around when we woke up. The temperature had dropped down and was quite cold. They had predicted that the temperatures would drop from today. Just our luck. We left the hotel at 8.15am and headed back to pick up the motorhome. Just as the taxi pulled up to Let’s Go motorhomes PT got a phone call to say that they had a few electrical problems in our van and it wouldn’t be ready until about mid day. We couldn’t believe what we were hearing as we had quite a big driving day to get to our first overnight stop. Nothing we could do about it so dumped our bags in their office and took off to do our big shop to stock up the van. In the middle of shopping we got the call an hour later to say that the van was ready. Hadn’t finished our shop so asked if we could leave our half full trolley in the supermarket and get a cab back to Let’s go picked up the van after a very big brief shot back to the supermarket, retrieved our trolly and continue shopping. At least we now had our van to throw everything on board and get on our way. It was well after mid day by the time we got on the road. Took us about two and a half hours to reach Corrigin by about 4.00pm. Settled into the Corrigin Caravan park very nice large sites and new facilities. In these small town areas apparently they all have well run camp sites. In some places run by the communities. Huge day finishing unpacking all our bags into the van. Too tired to cook a full meal so cooked up sausages and wrapped them in bread. That was dinner but at lease we are now fairly organised for another big day tomorrow. No real chance for photo opportunities so just took some of the countryside we past through. All taken in the same area but loved all the contrast colours. The blue sky, white and dark clouds, and the different colours in the fields. All taken through the front window no time to stop. Exhausted….
