We experienced a very wet and windy night…….and it was great packing up the tent & tent fly this morning in the rain and on Monbulk type red soil. The tent fly was put into a large plastic bag, similar also for the under tent tarp.
We were accompanied by rain as we took the scenic route through the hills as we headed eastward, through a range of small communities servicing the wheat and canola industries. The canola is a mass of yellow at present. The interesting town names include Tooday, Goomalling,
At a mid morning break at Wyalkatchem, we visited their Museum of Agricultural Farm Machinery. We all found this interesting and all agreed that our forebears were very innovative in what they created to make work easier or more efficient.
Lunch break at Merredin [on the Great Eastern Highway] to get out of the car and stretch our legs. It was something we both desperately needed.
After a break we pushed onto Southern Cross, arriving around 3.00pm, where a number of calls were made to Kalgoorlie Information Centre to book a mine tour for tomorrow morning. This will necessitate and early start by 7.00pm to get there in time for the 10.30 tour.
