Day 17 Friday 4th

Left Kalbarri at 8.30 Heading for Denham. We have noticed that the fuel prices are starting to increase dramatically. Obviously further you go the cartage price increases. We paid $1.48 per litre for ULP, which really isn’t that bad this far north. Stopped at the Billabong road House for coffee,20 minutes on the road again ( sounds like Willie Nelson).
The best part of today is that for the first time we have beautiful blue skies. The prayers to the sun God have a last been answered!! 350 Klms up the road, we reach the turn off for Denham. Only a short ride in from the highway139 Klms. It seemed like an eternity but we got there. Place hasn’t change much from our last visit, a few new buildings, but that’s all. Still one of the nicest spots on the west coast. We were allocated our site overlooking the Indian Ocean magnificent view!! Rick arrived about 1 hour later, he had to stop for bacon and egg breakfast!! Because of the size of their van they got a back site. So happy hour at our ocean view site tonight.
We organised out day for tomorrow, cruise, Monkey Mia to see the Dolphins and beach.
Nothing left now but to have happy hour or two!! All this fuel is making me fat!!! But I think I can handle it!
Dinner over, watch a bit of footy then sleep.
What a great day, what will tomorrow bring us? Anything except rain Brenda say’s!!
HOO ROO for now
The Pynes travelling circus!

Left Geraldton at 915am onwards and upwards towards the sun! This time we are heading for Kalbarrie. Great spot loved it last time we were here.
Arrived and set up, nice en-suite site. Had a chat to some new neighbours. As usual he knew someone who was in the fire brigade,
Bob Attoni who now works up at Puckerpunual.
Sun is shining and quite warm, this is what we came for!!!
Rick and Co arrived they ste up while we had a walk along the beach. Got back had lunch, we all went for a walk to the beach and park for the kids!
Happy hour started a bit early tonight. A few pre dinner drinks before we all go out to a BBQ place called Finlays. Finlays is a Fish BBQ resturant very reasonabally priced. You take all your own drink, they cook for you. Serviettes are dunny rolls!!! very La de da!!!
We had a great time there, plenty of food and drink.
Brenda still misses all you people at Myer! But boy is he having a good time!!! The tan is starting to get a bit deeper and she is now drinking Champagne. must be the outback that does it to her.

Got back to park and Rick wanted to get stuck into the Port had to pass on that, one thing I don't need is a hangover!!!got some good pics to put on but will do them in the morning

Brenda and I on our romantic walk on the beach. Yep, I've still got it!

Onwards once again towards Esperance 283 KLM's. Arrived here at the park , first person we saw was Rick, finally caught up with them.

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.
