Domblegabby – Koonalda Homestead Turnoff Day 59

 Sunday 30^th September  

Today we have to turn our clocks forward ¾ hr so we wanted to get away before 7:00am WA time and we did just.

Just off the road was the blowhole signage not real good very interesting hole in the ground a long way from the ocean.

We had a short break at Caguna for fuel then onto Eyre Bird Observatory it was about 20ks on  rough dirt not really worth the visit and we could not take the trailers the rest of the way past one of lookouts.  Back at the main road we had some morning tea and Stan had to put some air in his tyres.

We stopped at Eucla for lunch and Bryan & Kim decided to go on while we had a look at the Old Telegraph Station.  We continued on and looked at all the photo opportunities.  Now it was time to find Bryan & Kim as the day was getting late.  He said he would be at Koonalda Caves as there is not a lot of signs on this road we could not find the turnoff so Paul entered the H.S into his GPS and we had to turn back 20ks found the turn off but no Bryan.  So we drove in a short way set up camp in the bush and stayed there the night good spot.

Will have to find the Rigg’s in the morning on the way to Ceduna if we can.

Kalgoorlie –Domblegabby (Nullarbor) Day 58

 Saturday 29^th September  

Beautiful morning for the start of our trip home and we left right on 7:00am good trip to Norseman everyone toped up with fuel ready for the Nullabor trip.  Not far out of Norseman Pete found his first treasure (1 Camel).  Morning tea Ten Mile Rocks rest area (nice spot) Pete packed his treasures away so he could get more.  Today is Robyn’s birthday.

Heading further treasure finding continues (2 camel) this one a bit on the nose and the find was just before we stopped for lunch break at Woorlba Homestead rest area good spot.  Robyn was not feeling very well when she emerged from the car so no lunch for her.  What  lovely birthday presents Pete is collecting for her.

Where is Pete

We found Domblegabby rest area and decided it was good for the night it was only 2:30pm when we pulled in so we had a bit of time to collect some fire wood and get organised for tea while Pete attended to his treasures.  We all sat down to happy hr and Pete decided to pack up his ten and go back to see if he could find the treasure he missed out on.  He was gone for a good 1 & ½ hrs we were starting to get a bit worried as he did not answer calls on the radio.  When he did come back he had gone back 75ks one way he even said he was silly.

The wind has now died down and we sat around the fire and had pancakes for Robyn’s birthday cake.
