15 August 2019
A late start today as we didn’t have much to do for the day except cover some distance. We called by the post office in Latham (open 1 hour a day – small town after all) to make a donation for our use of the camp and then started to drive. We stuck to the back roads and drove through some really beautiful countryside and a number of small towns. We are still in the wheatbelt so there are vast areas of green crops. We stopped in the small town of Koordo for lunch and looked around there, walking whilst eating as although lovely and aunny, the breeze was very cold.
We dropped onto the main road at Southern Cross and drove onto the Goldfields National Park where we camped at Boondi Rock. It was cold! So cold. We were all early into bed as it was too cold to even be around the campfire.
The below photo is the only one taken for the day. There is a donut for anyone that can guess why the name of this town had Bill and I in stitches. Unless he has told you about it already, in which case no donut.
