1. Most of the road had been graded and the corrugations flattened, wow, we were able to drive at 90k & enjoy it.
2. Not everyone enjoyed it.....as we got to the T junction of Quondong & Cape Leveque Roads, there was a CombieVan on the far bank. It had been rolled and all the doors were open and contents scattered around. There was a grey haired man sitting on a chair beside it. We wound down our window and said "This is a sorry site". His reply " it's not mine, I have lent the guy my car so he could go to where he could get phone reception!" We hope he treats that car better than his own. It was supposed that he didn't realise that it was a T intersection, hit the brakes and spun in the sand. Sorry , I don't have a sequel.......everything had gone when we came home at 2.30. What a generous, trusting man that was. May he be rewarded for his kindnesses.
These are the roads we travel:
Where we had just come from.
Where were going, Home is at the end and through the sand dunes.
And this is one of the 'runoffs'
In some places the places, the side of the road can be 2 metres high, most are only 1 metre. In the wet season, these roads must be rivers, what a mess. It's like driving in a U shape.
Last night a young couple parked by us, they had a 4WD with a tent attached to the top. It was fine over night but this morning we had a VERY STRONG WIND. Brian offered to help, for which they were grateful but declined & said they would ask for help if they needed it. Wow, it was amazing to watch how it folded down to such a neat package. It's only for the young, slim, very fit people. They had to climb on the tail gate, hang on for dear life as the wind fought them, climb & tie everything down. They came and said thanks for the offer & admitted that today had really tested them. Good to watch from within our luxury Van.
This morning Brian saw a 1 metre sea snake that had been washed up on the sand, a guy was trying to get it back into the sea but had to give up!
Please enjoy this, I have written all this twice, because there was not Internet connection this morning , I lost it all 😠😪😠😪😠😪ðŸ˜
Now I will try again a hope to 😃😃😃😃😃
