Reached Kalgoorlie

The going down of the sun Newmans Rock W.A.

After a cracker night at Newmans Rock watching a glorious sunset and then the full moon rising and sitting around the fire watching the stars, we rose for our first true morning in the Western Australia time zone. After having breakfast we took off early and headed onto Norseman where we refuelled and did some grocery shopping before striking out towards Coolgardie.

An open fire and a sunset

We had lunch on the side of the road then cruised the streets of Coolgardie admiring the old buildings. We headed up the last forty odd kilometres to Kalgoorlie and set up camp at Centennial Park (free camping for 72 hours). Bob has booked Turtle in for a wheel alignment on Monday afternoon so we’ve booked a bus tour for Monday morning. I have to chase up a new lock for the motorhome’s side door.
