Hello everyone!
So what’s new?
Well, I left my dear hosts Debra and Trevor on Wednesday. The last few days were even better than before. We went to Matilda Bay on Sunday with the whole Family for a barbie (short for barbecue). It was great to experience a traditional Aussie barbecue get-together :-). It was a real spread! Pastries, sausages, corn on a cob, cake…
On Monday Debra took me to the casino. I’m not really into casinos but it was a good time even though I lost the few times I played! A few days ago I talked to Debra about two very french meals, the fondue and the tartiflette. She bought everything we needed, so we could have fondue for dinner.
Tuesday was the meeting day for all the travelers (we are about 20 from different nationalities). We met at The Monkeys bar in the afternoon before heading off the next day in the early afternoon. Everyone seems nice and I think we will have a good time together during the next few weeks.
Jake is the driver. He is going to make a round trip from Perth to Broom with his 25 seats minibus. As for me, I’ll stay in Broome and head to Kananurra later. It’s the season for bananas, zucchini and melons and I feel like trying to do some picking. Well, time will tell. It’s still 3 or 4 weeks until the next question marks actually 🙂
We were supposed to hit to road on Wednesday but we headed out a bit later than expected. The bus had engine trouble and we had to stay for 2 nights in a garage in Perth. We had the entire uptairs office to sleep in though, so it was pretty cosy.
On Friday we finally got on the road. For the first night of the roadtrip we stayed at a picnic area. At dinnertime every day, someone is in charge of cooking for everybody, which I find pretty cool.
On the second day we did some sand boarding 50km away from the last stop and after we decided to visit the pinnacles.
Last night, we stayed on a free campsite along the sea, nice spot. Every night we stay around the fire chatting and playing games.The more we are going in the north the more I stare blissfully and in amazement into space when I look the night sky, it’s crazy.
Today is time for a little pitstop to buy some food and drinks (we can’t carry more than 3 days of supplies for 20 peoples actually). The third camp stop was nearby Ajana, a campsite called Galena Bridge camp area. We stayed there 2 days as we could have enjoyed the river and public toilets there.
Today we went to Kalbarri National Park and stayed all the afternoon by the Murchison river. We walked along the river to gaze at the Gorge and the red rock formations.
It’s more and more difficult to have network coverage even with two SIM cards/providers.
Talk to you later! See y’a!
