We left our camp after a night around the campfire watching distant thunderstorms to the south of us. We moved on to see Sandstone where we stopped for morning tea at the old Post Office Cafe and after coffee and cake, we booked our sites at the Mount Magnet Caravan Park for the next two nights so we could reminisce about Turtle’s demise four years ago.
We couldn’t get a powered site for both nights as apparently the Park is booked out tonight (what the??) but we will have power tomorrow night. We arrived in time to have lunch then it was hit the showers and do the laundry. As it’s Saturday, all the shops are shut (when I say all I mean the 4 shops) and only the Foodworks will be open tomorrow morning. Even our planned big breakfast at the cafe had to be abandoned because its closed for the month of August while Len recovers from his operation (well that’s according to the sign on the door – hope he’s doing well). I guess its feet up time and sitting in the sun with the strong breeze keeping it just right.
Since leaving Kalgoorlie the weather has been mainly sunny in the mid 20s, although we got a sprinkle of rain while cooking tea, just enough to be a nuisance but didn’t stop us sitting out around the fire admiring the stars all night
