Day 41: Coral Bay to Edaggee Rest Area.

Saturday 04/08/2012 Day 41: Coral Bay to Edaggee Rest Area.

Cool overnight and windy. There was condensation on the windscreen.  Checked the windscreen and the crack has grown 0.5cm again. We packed up the van and were on our way at 08:19. We crossed the tropic of Capricorn. We got back on the North West Coastal Hwy. More Roadtrains and Amanda saw her first mob of Emus. We had to stop to let 2 cross the road. They changed their minds and ran the other way. We went into Carnarvon to get Woollies Caltex Vortex Premium diesel  and stocked up on food supplies at Woolies. We left Carnarvon and drove South to the rest area. A passing motorist waved that there was something wrong with the van. We pulled over and found the roof vent was open. Lifted the lid on the van and Amy crawled in and closed it. We then arrived at the rest area at 14:00. We got a park upwind of the longdrop. There were 2 vans here before us and the place is nearly full at 16:30. When we unpacked the van to Ryan’s dismay we had not packed the landing net. Someone has a brand new BCF extendable landing net.
