Westward Ho!

We spent a very pleasant afternoon at Bluewater with two of the lovliest people you could ever meet - John & Lea. Thanks to them we now have a new 60 litre car fridge and UHF radio. Cheers guys.
We now feel more the part of grey (silver) nomads and boy, are there lots of us out here. Can't get away from them. We are writing this post at a Rest Area, west of Richmond, having wine and cheese and looking out over one of the biggest paddocks you're likely to see this far west. Tomorrow we will be within a stones throw of our first major stop - Lawn Hill Gorge. Probably won't have internet for a while - we'll see how all our gadgets perform under the pressure - may be lucky.

Posting comments - how to

We have discovered that you will need a login to write comments. The simplest way will be to create a Google account - it is free. Sorry about the extra step involved here. Hope you consider it is worth doing. I guess it is for security, which is why we chose this way instead of Facebook. Cheers.
