Got
up early to say goodbye to Tom and Sandy who are leaving at 6am as they have a
long drive back to Perth.
We
packed up the last bits then said thanks again to Ross and Lara and headed back
to Meekatharra.
Into
town to the park to fill up the water tanks. Chatted with a couple from Germany
who are into their third year travelling Australia. They love the remote areas
as there a big cities anywhere.
Louis
rang so pass on the news that Kevin McDonald has passed away. We knew him when
he supplied the Godden engines for the Formula 500s. Lou and I had visited him
in Bathurst the first year we went there as a group.
While
I uploaded my blog, checked emails etc Steve rang Rick for a chat. I rang
Margaret too. I got an email back from the couple on a station between Meeka
and Sandstone that are looking for caretakers/ helpers so I let them know we
are back in town and to give us a ring.
We
had put in for another homestead sit west of Meekatharra but that was only
watering the plants there and being around the historic homestead so helping
out on the station might be more interesting.
We
decided to lash out and have the huge yummy burgers from the food van.
Did
our bits and pieces in town then drove out to Peace Gorge to camp. It is really
just a place of granite rocks – not really a gorge.
4pm
36 degrees – summer is coming.
I
worked on my blog – trying to get the rest of this trip finished soon.
Steve
went for a walk with the Tablet trying out the Happy Prospector App.
Good
phone reception and internet here but no TV reception. Got out the hard drive
and went back to April 2016 to watch the photos I took each day. Watched a few
days worth then put on a movie.
No
breeze at all but it is comfortable with all the windows and vents open.
