Happiness Is The Road
We had a lovely peaceful night and woke up to the sight and sounds of the hilarious galahs. We both went for showers first thing as we usually do. It was knicker change day for me today so I took a pair of nice clean knickers with me when I went to the amenities block. It felt great to be in clean clothes! After brekky I went back to the amenities block to have a poo. When I was done and washing my hands I noticed a pair of dirty underpants flopped out on the shelf above the basin. I was horrified that someone would leave their filthy pants here, how disgusting! I have come across discarded undies in amenities blocks a few times before and just as I was thinking which dirty ******* had left their pants there I realised that the dirty ******* was in fact me!!! I discreetly picked them up and quickly left hoping that no one had noticed. To be honest I was amazed that my knickers were still on the shelf as they were so crusty I'm surprised that they hadn't already crawled half way back to the camper on their own! With my pants now safely in our dirty bag we went into the centre of Tom Price to do some food shopping at Coles. When we came out we noticed that the car park was full of mine vehicles. The mine workers all seem to drive round in white 4X4's and utes with red flags flying. There were about seven or eight of them in the car park when we got there. When we have been driving recently we have noticed that there have been loads of these vehicles on the roads with most of them having only one person in them. They don't appear to be carrying anything and we've often wondered what they are doing and why so many of them need to be driving around. We figured out today that it must be to do the shopping. We think that the scenario is something like this:

Bruce "Mick, We've run out of tea bags, can you pop out to Coles and get some"
Mick "No worries boss"
....5 minutes later
Davo "****, we've not got any milk. Les can you just get to Coles to get some"
Les "No worries mate"
.... 5 minutes later
Frank "Oh b******s, we've run out of sugar. Can you pop out to Coles to get some"
Davo "No worries, Frank"
.... 5 minutes late
Sheila "For frigs sake, who's eaten the last Tim Tams? Frank can you just pop down to coles to get some"
Frank "No worries Sheila love, I'll go now"
.... 5 minutes later
Tegan "Anyone fancy a bacon sandwich?"
Bruce "I'd love one"
Tegan "For c*** sake, who's eaten all the bacon? Sheila, can you pop out to Coles and get some my love?"
Sheila "No worries"
.... 5 minutes later
Harold "I'd love a coffee with my Tim Tams and bacon sandwich but the ******* coffee jar's empty. Tegan darling, can you just pop out to Coles to get a jar of coffee?"
Tegan "No worries Harold"
.... 5 minutes later
Madge "For pity's sake we've got no red sauce left. I can't possibly have my bacon sandwich without sauce! Harold my good fella can you nip out to Coles and get some for me"
Harold "For you Madge, anything"
.... 5 minutes later
Kylie "I want brown sauce with mine, have we got any?"
Madge "You should be so lucky Kylie, we're right out"
Kylie "**** Madge could you be a deary and go get me some from Coles?"
Madge "No worries"
.... 5 minutes later
Bruce "**** Kylie we haven't got any bread for the bacon sandwiches. Be a darling and nip down Coles will you?"
Kylie "No worries Bruce"
.... 5 minutes later
Bruce "Where the **** is everyone?"
We left Tom Price and saw loads of road trains hurtling along the highway. Maybe Bruce should send one to Coles once a week to do a big shop!!!
We had a long drive ahead of us today. We had around 400 kilometres to cover to the Nanutarra Roadhouse where we intended to stay tonight. The road took us through some spectacular scenery. The dirt was red and the sky was an endless blue. The highway to Nanutarra was fairly quiet and we didn't see much traffic apart from mine vehicles. Some of them had an awful long drive to Coles! It was like the road to nowhere and we didn't think it was going to end. We got slightly worried at one point thinking that we might be stuck in some sort of continual time loop. Eventually though we got back to the main Highway 1 and from here it was only a short way to the Nanutarra Roadhouse, a desolate place in the midst of an endless landscape of red. We got a nice spot on the edge of the roadhouse caravan park and chilled.
