I have to admit that it was nice to run the air conditioner on heat have a long shower and all the other nice things that go with being in a caravan park. Furthermore my wife agrees and adds being able to use a washing machine and dryer. This caravan park was reasonably priced so we both enjoyed making sure that we topped up with water before leaving.

The weather was a little better today but we have had small showers intermittently all day. We have been travelling through areas affected by the rain as evidenced by water on the roadside pretty well all day and at times in considerable quantity. Leaving Mullewa we were once again enjoying the pretty collage of greens and yellow. Crops are nowhere near as pretty late in the season, but pretty is not the name of the game. As we approached Geraldton the scenery became more picturesque with rolling hills and lots of greenery, some of it crops and some natural vegetation. There is a photo stop on the way in and the view from it was spectacular. Naturally we took some photos even though getting up the hill put mud on our otherwise newly cleaned van. Neither of us have ever approached Geraldton from this direction before so it was quite an eye opener, we then left by an unusual route which was also nice. It seems to me that touring like this is not only for the major sights but for the variations that are unexpected.

After shopping and fuelling in Geraldton we headed North intentionally putting kms in to get up there and catch up with our Queensland friends who are just north of Broome. Just a note in passing......today we drove over the Minnoo Creek in Binnu!
