Woke up early so decided to brave the cold and got up left our thermals on, put our clothes on and had some brekky. Tried turning all the gas jets on for warmth again and it worked. Left Cue and headed to Meekathara and on to Newman - not much in between. I had a drive this afternoon for a while. There are a lot of big trucks on the road and they are huge - massive! We arrived at Newman around 2.30 pm so checked in at the park - nice park. I spent the afternoon d...

We decided to make our overnight stop in Cue. We had been here before and it is a charming little town. Last time we were here the caravan park was overdue for a facelift. It sure has had one and it looks fantastic however it has obviously become so popular by the time we arrived there were no powered sites left. It being another hour to Meekathara and already 5 pm we had no choice but to stop. I immediately phoned through to Newman where we will be tomorrow nigh...

The clouds passed by thankfully as it would have been messy on the dirt roads . David and Julie lead the way today and we completed the last few hundred kilometers with no dramas. I took some photos of some of the fauna along the way today - pretty flowering gums etc. We had a lunch break i...

Gerry and I got up around 6.30 and went for a walk and collected some wood for the fire. We stoked it up and Gerry cooked bacon and I cooked eggs for everyone. After packing up we headed off towards Laverton. We made a lunch stop at Tjukayirla roadhouse and filled up with fuel. The road was good condition with quite a few sandy spots which caused us to slow down some. Barnie and Lyn and the Bourkes saw some herds of camels but as we were tail end Charlie today we...

This morning we got up early and before breakfast we walked up to the weather station and watched the balloon get launched and listened to a very interesting talk about the weather station. This is the main one in Australia and in the future may become automated. At present there are four full time staff. We were all starving so had brekky and headed off on our way to Warburton. Barney and Lyn have had lots of trouble with their van. After a bit of a worry with t...
