WeEarly start after some light rain . So a wet pack up and pretty cold overnight..down to about 6C.  We had a great night with our first campfire, the dried wood burns very hot and very little smoke…somewhat different to the Victorian High Country…we camped at a free camp just off the road, east of Caiguna Road House some litter around, but otherwise a good camp, I don’t understand why people thinks it’s ok to leave rubbish behind…stopped at the Road house, ablutions and the obligatory 90 mile sign….then back on the blacktop heading for Balladonia…site of the unannounced landing of Skylab…”fragments” on display and a cheap mock-up of the actual craft… disappointing to say the least, anyway fuelled up and made tracks for Norseman where we finally started our push north east towards the Kimberly…. Norseman is a mining town so lots of mining trucks, utes, wagons and miners in hi vis.abd red dust…lots of it..standard outback apparel..<\/p>\n

Headed north out of town for Kalgoorlie…arrived after 3 pm…another 600-700km today…but we are here for 2 nights,  so down time for a day at least.<\/p>\n

Settled in and headed for the local establishment for a nice dinner and few refreshing ales.<\/p>\n

Back to the cars and saw some local entertainment of 2 persons dancing and yelling around the round about…. quick to get in the car and head back to the gated safety of the caravan park.<\/p>\n
