Fri, 20th Apr, 2018 Bush camp, 34km east of Leonora to Malcolm Dam, near Leonora, WA (Katelin & Sarah’s birthdays)



7.30 am 20.1 degrees (van closed up each night now) & a few clouds. Sprinkle of rain woke me at midnight. Forecast for storms Sat and Sun.

Sent texts off for Katelin and Sarah’s birthdays.

Decided to move back to Malcolm Dam and park where we can get reception to watch the Supercars racing in Phillip Island over the weekend.

Parked on the dam wall this time rather than ‘our tree’ so we can have lake views and we don’t need the shade as it is cooler than the other times we have parked here.




Only two swans left – wonder if they can’t make the distance any more to the next spot so they will stay here all the time now. There was even a seagull but he flew off – must have just been having a rest!!

Rang Sandy and Tom to see when they are heading north. Hopefully we will catch up with them before we head off on the CSR.

Went into town after lunch for water and fuel. Chatted with a young couple heading off on their lap of the map with their camper trailer. So glad we have a caravan!! It will be certainly a big change for us living out of the truck for the next few months!!

A few more campers pulled in around the dam. Also a few locals and then as night fell the backpackers roll in. They haven’t worked out the courtesy of driving slowly past people’s camps!

Had dinner looking across the lake then walked around the other side to see what was happening up in the sky. Steve got the first satellite tonight.
