Deja Vu in Carnarvon

A Carpet of Wild Flowers on the Road leaving Nanutarra


The overnighter at the roadhouse was really good. Our neighbours from QLD were on for a chat so we sat out until it got quite dark and started to spit rain. Russ cooked us one of the best T Bones I’ve ever eaten, we listened to a Max Merrit DVD Beth gave me, and then headed to bed. We’ve learned not to eat in roadhouses if we can help it-the food is always overpriced and usually a bit sad. The cowboy was working again this morning as we filled the car and was very proud of the place and how clean they keep their amenities. I had to agree and it was nice to get plenty of hot water with plenty of pressure.

So, here we are in Carnarvon in a different and much nicer park than last time (I have to say it was a shitty site to get the van on though!!!!). It was a pretty boring drive today with lots of flat straight stretches and no wild flowers due to the lack of rain down here.

We’ve seen the travel agent and got our freebies, been out to the farm gates and bought up big on fruit and veg (2kg of bananas for $6, 2kgs Tomatoes for $2), so now we’re happy. The local races are on tomorrow with a courtesy bus leaving from the front gate so that might be the plan.
