Kulen to Albany - 350km
On Sunday night I had a delicious snapper
meal at the pub. Unfortunately
they didn’t have a roast on the menu and they had run out of vegetables, but
the snapper came with a nice fresh salad and hand cut chips and I really
enjoyed the meal.
On Monday we traveled through a town called
Lake Grace and then drove on to Borden where we stopped for the night at the
local sports reserve. It was an
interesting drive because this part of WA has a lot of problems with salt
rising up from the water table, and as a result there are hundreds of small
salt lakes dotted around the countryside.
Many of them have dried up leaving huge white saltpans which shimmer in
the sun.
By the time we got to Borden in the
afternoon it was so hot it was a case of find some shade, pull up a chair and
wait for the sun to go down.
Before it got dark Oscar enjoyed chasing his ball on the oval. He is so obsessed with his ball
that I have to wait until he is distracted then hide it, otherwise he whines
and carries on all day wanting me to throw it for him.
On Tuesday we had a relatively short drive
(100km) to Albany. After a trip to
the supermarket and a visit to the Information Centre where we filled our water
tanks, we headed for a camp about 30km west of Albany. It is in a lovely spot right on the
beach, but unfortunately the weather has turned a bit cool and windy with showers. After
seven weeks of beautiful weather I can’t complain.
After two days of cloud and some drizzle today has turned out lovely and sunny again. I have driven back in to Albany today to have my stove fixed and to catch up on some washing. Chris will continue on to Denmark and I will meet her there later in the afternoon.
