Norseman to Esperance - 200km

The drive to Esperance was going well until we were about 70km from Esperance.  I was ahead of Chris when I noticed she was no longer following me.  I waited for a few minutes and realised something must have happened, so I turned around and found her parked on the side of the road with a blown tyre.

Fortunately it happened at a spot where she could pull off the road, but without any phone signal she couldn't call anyone.

I wrote down all her details and travelled towards Esperance to call the RACQ road service as soon as I could get a signal, which was about 40km further along the highway.

After making sure the Road Service knew exactly where to find Chris I continued on my way to Esperance.  We weren't sure how long it would take, but Chris eventually turned up at the caravan park at about 6pm.

I am looking forward to doing some sightseeing tomorrow, and I especially want to see the "Pink Lake" - it looks magnificent from a distance.

Before we left Norseman this morning I took a photo of some tin sculptures of camels which were in the main street.  In my travels over the past few years I have never seen any, but there are supposedly half a million wild camels roaming Australia.
