Day 32
6/9/2010
Today has been a little different, after leaving the Happy Days Caravan Pk, although this is not a Big 4 park we would highly recommend a stay here if passing through, very friendly and very clean, we had need of the assistance from a refrigeration technician and the caravan park recommended one in Albany. We were required to unhitch and leave the van for a couple of hours; we took this opportunity to give the car a good bath at the local car wash, now it looks good. As we arrived in Albany on Saturday night I noticed the 12 volt shop that regularly advertises in the 4x4 magazine and thought if we have the time I wouldn’t mind having a look, very similar to the Home of 12 volt at Mt Barker.
On returning to the van we were told that the fridge is OK, however, the indicator that tells you that the gas is on and working has died and should be replaced when we get home. They have offered to get one in and send it home to us so I can replace it at my convenience.Tonight we are camped at the Januc Rest Area (33’49’855s 119’15’222e) 79kl west of Ravensthorpe, this is a nice spot with 6 campers here tonight each keeping to themselves, a nice quiet evening with no phone coverage. The drive through today was lovely, there has been plenty of trees and bushes left between the road and the cereal crops, the vast crops of beautiful yellow canola breaks the endless green of wheat.
Weather report: Delightful sunny day temp about 21 degrees with a little wind in one section of the road for about 50 kl.Thomas front; no news today, they leave for Christmas Island on Thursday, Mary’s mother Judy has flown home to Queanbeyan yesterday and returning on Thursday to travel with them and help Mary for about 10 days, that should help Mary, our thanks to Judy.
Catch you tomorrow
John & Sheryle
