7am
27 degrees with all the windows and vents open. Windy through the night. A few
heavy drops of rain at 4am so I had to get up and close the roof vents. Then a
rumble of thunder at 6am and a few more drops of rain but that was it.
The
sun is peeking out through dark clouds as we headed into a park in town to
watch the V8s race at the Gold Coast. Parked under a tree as it is certainly a
lovely warm day today even with the cloud cover.
Settled
in for an exciting day of racing as it was pouring with rain on the Gold Coast.
Brian, Ian and Fozzie are there. I texted hoping they had dry seats. Reply back
– dry grandstand seats right on the start line with lots to drink!!
While
we were watching the commentator wander around the pits we spotted Lindsay in
the background. How about that – of all the thousands that are there.
It
was a great race with Ford winning.
Headed
south to Geraldton then east to Fig Tree Crossing Campground again. As we
passed Coronation Beach a funny low cloud was rolling in from the sea – nearly
like a fog. Didn’t come out well in the photo.
Looks
nice over the Chapman Valley as we head to the campground.
Back
to our spot along the fence-line. The dark cloud is coming towards us from the
west.
Good
phone, internet and TV reception here so I uploaded some more of my blog and
checked Facebook. Andrea posted that Prince Leonard had lost his case against
the Government over the GST so he will have a big tax bill to pay now.
The
dark clouds got to us bringing a shower of rain though that didn’t cool things
down too much.
