Today is my last day in Kalgoorlie before finally setting off round Australia. I mean it has only been 2 months since I arrived in Kalgoorlie... It started off well, I went and did some shopping (camping equipment, car supplies etc) and bumped into Peter on the high street. He was absolutely flabbergasted that I was leaving tomorrow and I laughed and said I did tell him I was going! After pottering about in 40 degree heat round the shops, Danielle and I went to ...

Jeremy and Emma were in Sydney, Adrian had gone to Perth, Jamie was in Melbourne...it was looking very sparse indeed!

Today started off quite early, we had intended to start earlier in the day but almost over slept due to watching some episodes of How I met your mother last night lol. Today we are on a road trip because I want Damian to see some things in WA before he goes home.
