Wed, 2nd Oct, 2024 Bush camps off Nambi Road, Leonora, WA

Kayleigh’s birthday so sent her a message for a lovely day.

19 degrees, cloud then darker clouds came over with a short sprinkle of rain.

Cold wind so we closed up the camper on the windy side. I warmed up the camper by baking my pumpkin cake for morning tea. More rain cells coming over with strong wind.

We took our cuppas and cake over to Bob & Margaret’s van as they have more room to sit and we chatted for the morning as it is too wet and windy to go wandering!

The sun is back out but the wind has gotten much stronger and the camper feels like we are on a boat as it wobbles about on the suspension. The vinyl surround is getting a good flap up!

Gary and Cheryl are fine in Kalgoorlie - not much wind and no flies so they are happy!

Mike, Anne, Ron & Jenny are just about to board the Spirit to go home to Tassie. They had a good trip and got some treasures to take home. Anne said it was nice and calm in Geelong so looking forward to a smooth trip home.

I got my cross-stitch out and Steve continued with a new book. Glad he has discovered the joy of reading novels when you can’t go wandering.

BOM says we are having 50km/h winds with gusts to 59 - I agree!

3pm the wind has blown all the clouds away.

5pm a dark band of clouds is in the west and headed our way!

Drinks with Bob and Margaret in their van again as the wind is still howling.

6pm the storm arrived just as we got back into our camper.

Played cards and had dinner as the camper rocked back and forth with everything closed up.

8pm more rain and more rocking!
