Bunbury

We have driven a little further up the coast.
Bunbury has a busy port but also a very expansive attractive waterfront with a long beach.
we believe there is a big dolphin population in the bay....that is for tomorrow!

Ten Mile Brook Dam

We had the caravan serviced this morning...brakes, bearings, lights etc all greased, cleaned and checked. He found that the valves on our tyres need replacing as they are all cracked...so we need to find a tyre place. Rode our bikes along the track to the dam. The track started wide and a good surface but as we went along it got narrower and became a mountain bike track.....we rode through big mud patches, large water pools, over rocks and stumps, under a fallen tree and managed not to fall off as we rode over thousands of very large round eucalypt seed pods. We went past a turn to an alternate winter track but continued on the "summer" track. It continued up and down until we ended up at a deep water crossing with the water flowing very fast and a sign saying...do not cross. We did not cross and did not get to the dam. Never mind....it was a new riding experience and we emerged unscathed.

Yalata

Another 500km across mostly treeless plains today. We are using our drums of diesel careful to avoid the highest prices across the Nullarbor...up to $2.22 a litre. We know when a Roadhouse is approaching as we can see the communications tower from 5 km away....nice to have some reception for a short time. Each Roadhouse has a golf hole....no real fairway but fancy artificial grass for the greens. Stopped at Yalata an Aboriginal Community....they are part of the tribe moved from the Maralinga Region to allow the bomb testing to go ahead...they are now spread over a wide area. The community itself is closed due to Covid risk. The caravan park has only been open for 5 months with brand new facilities and a very cherpy chatty manager.

Mini Miners

Hundreds of Km of spinefex grass and red termite mounds. Some of the previously dry river beds are now wide flowing rivers with trees in the middle...remarkable. A very busy Roadhouse with barista coffee and sandwiches! ....in adition to the normal fried stuff. Phone call regarding our campsite at Millstream this evening.....road closed due to floodwaters. Stopped for the night at Pannawonica....another mining town...Rio owned but seemingly all shops etc are managed by a service company. A school with lots of kids, a small supermarket,a cafe,a post office, medical post,police station and a pub....has a nice feel to it. Footy (Aussie Rules) training with 6 men and a coach on the oval till late, drinks till one. We will see what the roads are like tomorrow.
