Kalgoorlie
28.05.2012
We still have not adjusted our body clocks to WA time and woke fairly early to a temperature of 5 degrees. We had a quick breakfast and packed up the van ready to move onto site 41 - the best site in the park. While we waited for the previous occupants to depart, we went to the local newsagent for papers including the weekend australian and Financial Review so that we could catch up on the news. We have had no papers since Ceduna.
Before we left Ceduna we bought a couple of 10 litre water containers as water is not available on the Nullarbor. However we found on arriving in Kalgoorlie that one of the containers had leaked about 6 litres of water into the carpet. We had to pull everything out of the back of the ute and leave the doors open to allow the carpet to dry - thankfully the temperature got to 22 degrees today.
David spent most of the morning doing a full set up of the awning and all our chairs and tables, while Di did several loads of washing. In the afternoon we visited Bunnings and Woolies Supermarket and Liquor Shop for essential supplies.
