Quairading to Bruce Rock - 98km

It has been a lovely day today, and on the way to Bruce Rock I visited Kokerbin rock which is reputed to be the third biggest monolith in Australia.

I sat in the sun and had lunch with a couple I had just met who were also from Victoria, then I tackled the walk around the rock.  I walked about a kilometre before turning back.  The track was a bit rugged underfoot and after nearly tripping over I decided to make my way back to the van.   With the other couple having left and with no phone coverage I didn't want to take any chances of injuring myself.    

I had intended to camp at the rock for the night, but didn't want to camp in such an isolated area by myself so I headed for the town of Bruce Rock.   On the way I stopped at the little town of Shackleton to take a photo of the smallest bank in Australia.

I intend to stay in Bruce Rock for two nights in an area set aside for self contained RV's.  At $5 per night it is very cheap.  It looks to be a nice town with interesting things to look at, so I will take Oscar for a walk tomorrow and have a look around.
