We have now completed five days of our trip to Perth. The first two days were kind to us in terms of weather with cold nights and beautiful clear sunny days with very little wind. Monday August 10, was showery and rather windy with the wind against us! When I asked the shop assistant at Kimba in South Australia how long the headwind was likely to blow she said she didn’t know and suggested driving in reverse! The bus is going really well and it good to have Eric to share the driving.
On Tuesday we were able to stop off at Head of Bight which is a few k’s east of Nullarbor Roadhouse. The waters at Head of Bight must be more attractive to whales than other waters because there are meant to be around 60 of them there, including mothers with their calves. It was not easy to get good photos of them because they did not necessarily pose for the camera and there was no sun at the time we were there and the waters looked murky and grey as a result. Tuesday weather was also showery at times and with strong head and cross winds for much of the day.
Our overnight stops so far have been Hay (NSW), Crystal Brook (SA), and Ceduna (SA): then Madura Pass (WA) and tonight, Norseman (WA). I was planning to update this blog page last night because I understood from the Telstra website that they had a NextG tower there – but such was not the case!
Eric was speaking on the phone with Edna a couple of nights ago. The Kauffman’s are travelling in convoy with Jim B and they all slept at Mildura on Monday night and planned to be at Ceduna the following night. Somewhere along the way they will catch up to us and probably leave us behind! We all plan to be at our Perth destination on Friday.
