23.01.2022 Penong (Mon) to Pt Augusta (Tues to Fri)

22.01.2022 wow ... what a lot of driving!!! we left kalgoorlie late on sat as we had to grab a few things and of course had to drive all around town. the town itself looked a bit drab. i was there with mum in about 99 and it seemed a lot fresher then. drove str8 thru norseman and hit balladonia just before sunset (sat night). not a bad little caravan park but telstra lies - there was no mobile coverage from norseman until eucla. you get spots along the way for emergency use only t...ho. balladonia to eucla (sun night) was pretty non exciting. lots of treeless plains, funny about that on the nullabor!!! the most memorable for me was watching an eagle land beside the road and as i passed, right beside the eagle was a fox ... pretty awesome photographic memory :) then i got to eucla caravan park ...for those who know of Don at the Billabong Homestead .. his brother works at Eucla Roadhouse!!! ruff, gruff and definately not helpful .... my power plug didnt fit their (prob illegal) socket and when i asked if i could buy/rent an adaptor he just said .... use a file luv, then u can get it too fit ... oh well u get them everywhere!!!!!!

22.01.2022 The old telegraph office in Sandstone

19.01.2022 from balladonia (wa) sat night to penong (sa) mon night

15.01.2022 We left the Billabong late afternoon on Tuesday and stopped in at Geraldton, camping out at the back of Tams place where I had a good old girls night in with Tam and her mum. Dinner and few reds :). Weds morn Tam very kindly did my hair so even if I am joing the nomads, I am not grey!! Got a bit confused driving to Mt Magnet as we passed thru Wagga Wagga (then Windsor the next day). Joined up with a few Downers work crew who had mutual acquaintences. Got a few tips about the roads east and Scoobs got a lamb bone ... they were his new best friends :)

06.01.2022 Mt Magnet has the most DELICIOUS PIE SHOP mmmmm to die for :) I had steak, cheese & bacon and when i mentioned scoobs wld be pd off that he couldnt have any, she gave me one from the day before she couldnt sell!!! Thats 2 freebies in 2 days for scoobs lol. On our way to Leinster, we stopped in at Sandstone. What a gorgeous little town. Coming from the Billabong (which is a small roadhouse in comparison to some further north and north east) i had to take a pic of thei...r servo!!! On a busy day the lady in the tourist place across the road where it is run from, says she has to run across at least 12 times!!!! Lots of roadkill on the way means lots of EAGLES!!! They just sit there picking and eating until you are almost beside them then maybe they will fly off. Will have to stop and get a pic hopefully today. Leinster is the town built by BHP. Good thing about having Scoobs is we walk around every little town we stop at every morning or afternoon. Its a pretty little place with lots of birds and heaps of social facilities - gym, pool, tennis/basketball, youth club. On to Kalgoorlie today. Then the big trek across the Nullabor - reverse to what I did in 1989!!! See more

05.01.2022 have just been chilling out in pt augusta, so things have been pretty quiet. we left penong mon morning and it was wet and miserable. if i thought it was a horrible drive across the nullabor with the wind, penong to kimba with the wind and rain was even worse. and unfortunately, there had been a bad accident on that stretch. penong was cute, really nice clean van park with a big field next door for scoobs to have a bit of a run on. pt augusta west is really really nice. ...we have been here since tues night just walking, reading, sleeping, organising a few things and playing on the foreshore. had to get the doona out weds night - only 5 deg. not really looking at sites but we have a pretty good view of the flinders rangers and spencer gulf from our ensuite powered site. living it up - our own toilet & shower!!! off to broken hill tomorrow for a night or two. another days drive :) See more

01.01.2022 Leinster to Kalgoorlie .. thru Laverton and Menzies not much to say really. Would have like to have gone out to Lake McLeod to see the sculptures but would have been a 120k round journey on unsealed road .... wish we had a 4wd. Anyway, not many choices to park the van so as you can see Scoobs is not too impressed .. notice the chain ... poor little tyke :( ... but funny as .. when we got here all the other dogs started barking ... scoobs did nothing so i took him for a walk around so he could see everything ... at the end of the walk he just went WOOF ... and all the other dogs shut up!! I think we are heading to Balladonia tomorrow so early start.
