Les drove the 10km out of 80 mile
beach without breaking an egg or popping a drawer. We drove with a severe tail
wind. We averaged 12.5ltr/100km towing the van at 90km/hr. We passed several
mines and headed into Port Headland for lunch. We passed the Rio Tinto Salt
Plant – we had a nice view from the overpass. We drove along the esplanade and
ended up at the boat ramp. We had sangger’s & left over Birthday cake for
Lunch. We all enjoyed using the automatic toilet. You press a button to enter,
you have 10 minutes to finish your business, the toilet flushes after you wash
your hands and the toilet plays nice elevator music whilst you are occupied.
The song “What the world needs now is love sweet love” is an interesting
selection for a toilet. The kids played with the BHP bronze crocodile. Amanda
& the kids went into the Boulevard Shopping center & picked up some
supplies. Ryan needed Graph paper for his Maths homework. Amanada is unhappy
paying $4.59 for a loaf of bread at Woolies. We saw more Roadtrains this drive
than the last 2 weeks. The Rest Area had 9 caravans here before we arrived at
2pm. The long drop has no seat, just a steel pedastal and we have parked upwind. The children managed to spend the afternoon
finishing school work. The grey nomads appear to be setting up for a big party
tonight.
