I have been reading the most wonderful book called "Secrets Mothers Keep" and I wasn't going to get up until I'd finished it. Then once I'd finished it I was feeling a bit lost.We had made the decision to leave and it felt a tinge hotter this morning so probably a good move. Our hit and miss internet enabled us to deal with some emails, pack up and then get out of there.On the road from Quobba back to the Highway Kimbo remembered there were nests th...

This is the windiest place in the UniverseGiven the air conditioner cut out the noise of the howling wind last night, I'd forgotten how strong it was. I was reminded very quickly once I stepped outside!We were on the road by 10.00am and our next stop was Carnarvon for fresh produce. I am surprised by the lack of road kill on the road.

We were so pleased when we woke up on Saturday morning feeling cool and comfortable as the airconditioner had stayed on all night, so the genny lasts longer than we expected. Looks like we can get 12 hours out of a tank, bonus!By the time we left at 9.30am it was very apparent that the day would be a scorcher.
