Our trip

We finally left home on Wednesday May 7th around midday with our two dogs Rex & Harry

After fuelling up our first stop was Bakers Hill to purchase pies for lunch.  They are still the best pies we have found, but no doubt we will sample a lot more as we continue our trip.

Our first overnight stay was just outside Meriden.  The next day we travelled to Kalgoorlie to meet a very old friend of the Scobbie family Stewart & Vera Ritchie, who I have not seen in 45 years, and who heard of the class reunion that Liz is organising and got in touch with her after all of these years.  We spent a lovely few hours catching up on old times

Next day we went to Norseman and had a look at the old stomping ground of my youth.  That night we camp at the foot of Mt Jimbilana known to me as Trigg Hill.

Sat. 11th May

Our start of the trek across the Nullarbor

Sunday May 12 (Mother's Day) I got a lovely card From Mike (about mid afternoon when we remember it was Sunday) and one from the dogs

Mike even cooked tea that night sausages & mash) with a little help.  At night we stayed at 24hr parking bay stops,which were quite nice and usually other people camping and most had drop toilets.  We stayed at a very nice overnight stay about 10kms West of Mundrabilla, where we met a lovely couple from Ravenswood (In WA) Len & Jean.  Jean is into Patchwork.

Fuel was $1.89.9c/lt but at Eucla it was $2.06.9, fortunately we did not have to fill up there and only put in enough at Mundrabilla to get us to Nundroo where it was $1.66.9c/lt  (a big difference)

Wednesday we arrived at Ceduna and stayed at the Shelley Bay Caravan Park, where we again met up with Jean & Len.

Thursday we set off for  Wangary (on the Eyre Peninsular) to see Cherie and John (who we met on our previous trip up north at Quobba) and then they came and stayed with us for a couple of weeks while they were in Perth.this is my first attempt to send to the "blog" here's hoping it works.

God Bless
