Up and at em’ with the sun again this morning. We had a pretty chilled out morning as it was only a fairly short drive to Kununurra and so didn’t have to rush off. We had brekkie, packed up and were on the road just after 8 am. We saw our first cane toad for the trip. It had spent the evening underneath Mum and Dads camper. It must have been lost as there wasn’t a drop of water for miles and miles.
We stopped half way at the Doon Doon roadhouse for a thoroughly respectable cup of coffee (no international roast at the roadhouses these days). Saw my first ever live cane toad disposal unit. Interesting concept. Also saw some wonderful boab trees on the drive and a few dead cows and crashed vehicles.
After a bit over 3 hours of driving, arrived at Kununurra and checked in to the caravan park. We’ve got a great site with heaps of room and good afternoon shade.
After both Bill and I almost flipping our wigs over that amount of clobber that we keep pushing around the back seat, Bill rearranged the car numerous times and made it all a bit more user friendly. We then went for a swim – chilly but refreshing and then headed in to town to buy Bill a new pair of shoes after he declared that he hated his thongs. He is now the proud owner of a pair of crocs – ugliest yet most comfy shoes known to man kind. A trip to the supermarket rounded out the day, and we then retired to the caravan park for the evening. Bill and I commenced our bi-daily hunt for the elusive head torches which had gone missing despite the admiral efforts at re-arranging the car.
After all that (we still haven’t found one of them) it was time for dinner, red wine and cards.
By the way – the weather is bloody lovely.
