Fri, 23rd Mar, 2018 Malcolm Dam, near Leonora, WA



7am 25.7 degrees, clear sky and no wind.

Mum rang for a chat – getting excited watching to see if a cyclone develops in the Gulf.

Back into town to pick up our new fridge – yeah.

Steve had to change the gas line as the new one is different – lucky he knows what to do!!


All connected and ready to cool down. 11.30 it was already 35.7 degrees so it might take a while to cool down.

Kevin and Linda rang to say they are heading our way via some sightseeing (Wave Rock, Lake Ballard etc).

3pm it reached 39.5 degrees and we are in the shade of the tree. Poor fridge!!

After working in that heat Steve decided he may as well make the fireplace nicer!! Strange man sometimes!! I just stayed in the van enjoying my book, hiding from the flies.

We have some TV reception – unfortunately not the channel the Grand Prix is on so we can’t watch the Supercars race but will check the results online later.

Sad to hear of the beaching of 100 whales at Hamlin Bay (where we saw all the sting(less) rays last year). Volunteers are trying to save them. Amazing too that on the same day in 2009 another whale beaching occurred there.

Watched Martin Clune in Islands of Australia which was great as it covered Houtmans Abrollus (we didn’t get there)  and Rottnest Island (we cycled around it). Didn’t realise how many islands there are around Australia – would be great to have enough money to be able to island hop to them all. I would also love to see Cocos-Keeling Islands too.

Strong southerly wind has come up which is quite cooling after such a hot day. So nice to be sitting outside watching the sky and enjoying the breeze.
