The Trip


Finally ready to leave, after a short delay, on Sunday July 10. Hit the road at 1:00, well loaded with fuel, water, food and plenty of 'medicine' (read wine and beer). The rain started soon after leaving Mandurah, but we didn't care. Malcolm was determined to catch the rest of the team ASAP, that meant stopping only for fuel and when I couln't 'hold on' any longer. I had baked some bread the day before, so that and a bit of fruit was our only food for the day. Uneventful drive, not much traffic and passed through Kalgoorlie around 9 pm. Decided to push further north for a bit and look for a camp spot at side of road., We pulled up at 10 pm (a good 9 hr drive) and opened the camper for the first time. A bit excited, apprehensive and concerned as it was still raining. Found a bit of water inside the camper, but nothing we could do so went straight to bed.
