Well today was a little different. We started of with the usual walk, cleaned up after my tap installation efforts (we had to empty the locker under the sink and of course I spilt a little water), then headed to town. A bit of shopping, empty toilet cassette, top up water and headed off. Before I detail our travels, the park where we stayed has (in addition to the Kokoda history story boards) a significant Vietnam Memorial, the first such that I recall seeing - probably just lack of observation on my part - but quite impressive.
Anyway leaving town we found the local cemetery and the found the Jewish section. It is fairly small and had about 20-30 graves dating back to the turn of the century. We also noted that a little bit of repair and cleaning up is needed. If any knows who does this please advise them of our comments.
Then we headed off to Karlkurla Park which is a huge bushland park on the northern edge of Kalgoorlie showcasing the huge diversity, surprisingly huge, of woodland in this area. Unfortunately we didn't have the time to spend much time doing the extensive walks. It was set up using work for the dole people.
Back on the Goldfields Highway we drove northwards looking for a campground from one of the websites that we use. Despite 2 off highway rough road excursions no luck. But that meant that we kept going to Menzies where we are now bedded down in the shire run caravan park, very nicely set up, for the princely sum of $12!
