Mon, 15th Apr, 2019 Malcolm Dam, east of Leonora to Information Bay, north of Kalgoorlie, WA



No sunrise as the heavy cloud band is covering the horizon. By 6.45 though the sun was up above it and shining brightly in a mostly clear blue sky. Cold light breeze as it is only 18 degrees with the van closed up. The willy wagtails are having fun running around on the roof of the van – love their little songs.

Went online and order our postal votes for the Federal Election in May – on Daniel’s birthday, he’ll be impressed.

Search online for a new rear vision camera as ours as started to play up. It has served us well as we put it in when we first got the truck.

9am I did the washing, hoping we will have enough sunshine to dry them as the clouds have started coming over again. There is a good strong breeze which is blowing the clothes about.

Played Skipbo then had lunch. Played a hand of 3 to Kings while we waited for the clothes to dry and for Heidi and Mark to come back from detecting.

All dry so we packed up and then Heidi and Mark returned so we said farewell to them again.

Headed into Leonora then onto the Goldfields Highway towards Kalgoorlie. We have driven this section of road a lot over the past 4 months but this time we have the van on so it will be a slower trip – no 110k/h for Steve now.

Amazing how many caravans, campers and motorhomes are heading north. It is school holidays and Easter is this weekend.

Stopped at Menzies for a cuppa.

Just north of Kalgoorlie we pulled in the Information Bay rest stop and set up for the night beside a nice salmon gum. There was another backpacker van with two girls in it nearby.


Cool evening so didn’t open up the van. A lot of road noise but that will settle down into the evening.

9pm 22 degrees, clear sky.
