Surprise surprise, we got out of a park before 10am!! Up early and organised enough to make it through the packing stage without tantrums and still happy by departure, my my things are going well.......
If you go to Mandurah do stay at the Mandurah Caravan and Tourist Park, the folk that own and run it are wonderful. Very welcoming, bend over backward to be helpful and they even remember your name. Simply marvellous people who are a credit to the caravan park industry. If only more were like them!
Nice days driving, a bit on the warm side but still a nice day. Only 40C. We even found a user friendly public dump point that was accessable in Pinjarra.
The scenery today was varied. We started with a nice gentle mountain climb. Lots of State Forest trees and appropriate signage. Was good, I did NOT hit any panic buttons (sorry BB), it genuinely was a gentle (ish) climb over the tail end of the Darling Ranges to the never ending broad acre wheat country on the other side.
We passed all sorts of interesting little country townships to finally end up in Lake Grace on our way to Esperance tomorrow.
Lake Grace is one of those towns with a main street, a couple of pubs, a shire office and not much else, oops hang on I forgot to mention the obligatory wheat silo......and the train line to carry all that wheat to a port somewhere for export!!!
Tomorrow we will pass through Newdegate, site of the biggest field days in WA on our way to Esperance. Never been to Esperance so really looking forward to that.
