Guilderton to Cervantes - 159km

By the time night fell at Moores Bridge last night there were eight campers pulled up for the night.  I was chatting to the couple next to me who were from Germany and it was interesting hearing about their adventures.  One thing they noticed in Australia was the amount of oil on the road from parked cars.  They said it is illegal to drip oil on the road in Germany and there are heavy fines if people leave an oil spot on the road when parked.  There are specialist cleaners who drive around in trucks and remove oil spots from the roads and then cover the area with sand.  

I reached Cervantes just after lunch today and decided to book into the caravan park.  Looking at the map it was still a long way before the next free camp and I was feeling tired so decided to stay.  It is a typical seaside town with a general store and a few other businesses, but there are also some very large newish homes overlooking the water - probably wealthy retirees from the city as Cervantes is only about 200km North of Perth.

I took Oscar for a walk along the beach but didn't venture too far.  The weather is mild, but today has been quite varied with the sun out one minute then threatening rain the next.
