Les drove today. We enjoyed the
changing scenery as we moved out of the Pilbara. We passed some sort of mining operation
where they had built an overpass over a huge road that was not finished,
heading off to the coast. We topped up at the Nanutarra Roadhouse, the French
backpacker came out and manually wrote down the information from the bowser and
still got it wrong. Honest Amanda pointed out her mistake and paid the correct
amount. The road became ordinary after Lannarie River, I’m guessing no mining
around here. We passed the Moscow Circus heading northwards. The landscape has
changed from deep brown to a pinky colour. We passed through several ridges
until the flat before the Burkett Rd turn-off. We arrived early but still had
to park down-wind of the long drop for safety reasons. We didn’t want the
Caravan door opening onto the road. The wind has died down and it’s a pleasant
27 degrees C. Les was in the long drop when the Workers maintained the toilet
beside him. He felt a cool breeze and water came under the partition between
the toilets. They definitely give the toilets a thorough cleaning. It’s still
red & dusty. The kids are on their 3rd School Day in a row. The
kids got out the Metal Detector and found an old wheel bearing.
