I can't believe we are going further and further north! As the lady at the last caravan park we stayed at said, "an endless summer!" That's what it feels like as the further north we go the warmer the temperature gets. It's much easier handling such lovely warm weather compared to rain and mud.
We drove through Geraldton very easily stopping at the car spares place, good old Bunnings and Repco and then did a food shop at Coles. Nothing wrong with the car - it just needs a service shortly.
We are now in an old, historic town (by Australian standards!) - Northampton. It has a lovely feel with old stone buildings up and down the streets. Tomorrow we will go exploring on our bikes after I have made our weekly bacon and egg breakfast.
Right now we are in the only caravan park just off the main road so lots of heavy truck noise but a beautiful sunset!
Chris is an absolute whizz at getting TV for us each night. Everyone here has a great big satellite dish but not us!! The gadgets and wires we have in the caravan are amazing. Our caravan is definitely home from home. We even have "the broken hi-fi cupboard" that we have always had!!!
We'll leave for Kalbarri on Monday when everyone has gone back to school. Hopefully we'll be the first of the grey nomads to get a good spot in a caravan park next week. We stayed at Kalbarri 13 years ago and loved it. Hope it will be good as we are staying for a week.
