DAY5

Sunday 22nd April Day5
We left Eucla 7.45am , non stop rain all the way to Madra. Stopped at the Madra Pass servo. Eucla scared me for fuel prices well this place even more expensive 97.9 LPG $169.9 ULP. Can it get more?
Still heading West more rain. Saw our first Police car in ages, trouble was he did a u-turn and sat behind us for about 5 Klms. Then took off and left us for dead!!! Stopped once again for coffee at Caiguna Servo, yes it got worse$1.00 for LPG, $1.71 ULP.
We reached Balladonia for lunch, place has change since we were here last pretty run down food was crap!
Onwards to Fraser Range Station 90 more Klms down the road. We finally found an oasis in the desert. What a great spot 447,000 acres of sheep station 160 kilometres from north to south. Had a good camp fire everyone joined in for a few drinks. Even the manager of the station, got in on the act , by playing his Bagpipes.
Great spot we will be sorry to leave.
Spoke to Rick he is in Esperance, one day away should , all being well catch up with him tomorrow.
