Day 41
14/9/2010
After a restful night and pleasant drive into Ceduna this morning passing through the quarantine station was a bit of a joke, although we had nothing on board that should be declared nothing was checked apart from a cursory look in the fridge, I opened the back door of the car to show 2 fridges and this went un-noticed, we felt this was poor and we could have concealed any amount of contraband.

Continuing through with our goal for the night at Kimba, our day was quite uneventful. On arriving at The Gums Rest Area and being the first there by about two minutes we selected what appeared to be a good spot, parked the car and into IGA for some last minute groceries then into the Big Galah for another look having been there on the way to Perth. Talking to the lass in the shop and stating we were staying the night at the Gums she asked if we minded her showing us a quieter place in town, now obviously we said no we would rather stay on the noisy road with the grain trains rolling past our bed all night, like heck. At the back of town is a Lions Pk (33’08’305s 136’24’984e) that is also a free camp area for a gold coin donation to the Lions Club, yes here we are.
Made contact with all our children today and checked on all our beautiful grandchildren, we miss them so very much and will be great to see them. Brett said that Thomas is settling in very well and putting on 100grs per day, this is so good to hear, Mary is also settling in with the help of her mother Judy. On the trip to Christmas Island not one little cry from Thomas, but Brett, OH! Just joking.
Weather report: intermittent showers d and rain all day, sunny periods then the cloud would come with showers then sunny again, this did make for tiring driving, and however, we did make it in the end.
Catch you tomorrow
John & Sheryle
