Tuesday 31/07/2012 Day 37: Burkett Rd Rest Area to Exmouth
Cape Holiday Park.
Les drove today. We enjoyed the
changing scenery along Burkett Rd. As we turned north towards Exmouth we passed
loads of sheep grazing by the side of the road, lots of lambs too. We passed
the RAAF base at Learmouth. As we were 10km’s from Exmouth a truck passed us on
a straight and flicked a rock up which put a 10inch crack on the driver’s side
windscreen. Now there is nothing to fix just a new windscreen. Rang Insurance
company, then the glass company and we have booked in for a replacement
windscreen at Geraldton next week. I hope the windscreen lasts that long. There
are no windscreen repairers between Exmouth and Geraldton. The local repairer
has to ship the part from Perth and we will have already moved on. There are no
powered sites in town and no sites available at the Cape Range National Park.
We are on the 2nd last unpowered site left and the last site was
filled at 19:30 tonight. Amanda caught up with Washing but it’s a bit humid
here and the washing has not dried completely. There is rain forecast tomorrow
afternoon. We had a look around and found a good place to fish at the marina.
Picked up supplies at IGA – still $4.50 a loaf of white bread. We are fishing
tonight on the high tide and off to Cape range tomorrow. All the glass bottom
tours are booked out. We have had to book ahead for the next 5 days to secure
accommodation. Still on unpowered sites.
