Well it’s time for a new adventure.
Covid has changed the world as we knew it, but the borders are finally opened, and I am on my way to West Australia for another visit to the Canning Stock Route.
For months I have been preparing the Hilux for the trip, and although I could have gone on for ever, I have decided to go regardless.
August first was the proposed day to leave together with my friends Barry and Lynda. It didn’t quite happen, but on August second I set off at 9.00 am only to return at 9.15 because I had left behind the sat phone which was charging.
Take 2. Left home at 9.30, and this time kept going. The plan was to meet up with Barry and Lynda at Bordertown just inside South Australia. Fortunately a fairly uneventful trip. I did stop occasionally to take some pics including this wonderful farm fence, made up of old bicycles.
The next day was travelling in convoy to Peterborough, famous as a railway hub, but the real treat of the day was the temperature of 25 degrees. A positive heat wave compared to Melbourne weather. Not quite such a treat were the 100 km winds which made driving quite scary. Fortunately it settled down at night.
One thing I am thoroughly enjoying while I am in mobile range are the wonderful photos of Bea, Hannah and Fenn enjoying Fiji.
Tonight we have made it to one of my favourite places, Woomera.
