Lots of pain today! She is not having a good run.
Not much to report today. My morning walk revealed a nicely set up town as is usual with the mining companies. It is normal for them to provide the infrastructure around mines in remote places, such as Paraburdoo, Tom Price, etc and this is another good example. There are well laid out villages for single staff, shops, sporting facilities (footy oval, tennis courts, basketball courts), school, day car centre, bmx track, medical centre and probably lots more that I didn't see. There is also a number of residences surrounding all this, obviously part of the deal because they are pretty much identical. Having said this the town is supposedly in decline because the nickel mine was closed, but there seemed to be a reasonable number of people around so maybe something is happening.
Anyway after that we left town stopping 4 times before reaching our camp. We are camped at the Peter Denny lookout which had a great view, along with 2 other campers.
