Easy day today, we got going early, for us that is, and headed for a place called Smoky Bay where we are safely ensconced in Baldwins Van Park. A van park was necessary today because Elaine wanted to use a washing machine. So we did the washing and other good things and went into town to see what there is to see. Like most of these towns it is a very neat and tidy place with lots of new looking houses. There is also a jetty with a very interesting restoration story. Apparently they got organised then nothing happened so a few years back they started again and this time suceeded. The design was done by a Western Australian called Murray Drew who donated his services and lots of volunteers helped along with government and shire money with the total cost over $600,000. They sold planks as part of the fundraising and they can be seen with the names of the donors engraved in them as you walk along the jetty. There was also a lovely little cavorting alongside, but unfortunately he was nursing an injury from one of those damn jet skis.

Have to go as our hosts have invited us to join them at the bonfire.
