25th August. Quondong Point/Roebuck Plains Roadhouse

Well, at last it has come to pass that the Lantzs have at last picked up their roots and moved on.

We have loved Quondong Point especially as we have had lovely company and met some very interesting people, had a perfect ocean side site with Whales heading north every day. I kept my Fathers binoculars all these years( he died 1962!) we have hardly every used them until this trip. Being able to watch the whales doing their gymnastics is so amazing. 

We have enjoyed playing Rummikub over the last 2 weeks every evening , 4.30 to 6.30 with our neighbours from Phillip Is. Something new for us and we have loved it. One night we had a visitor, a moth about 3 inches long.

Yesterday we said farewell and have both started on the trek home.

The turn off from Quondong/Cape Leveque road onto the main highway, is very interesting.

And a point for everyone to dump their garbage. A great service.

We only came about 45k so we could recharge batteries, wash the salt off the car, and catch up with washing.  We are at the Roadhouse Caravan park on the corner that leads us to Port Headland. We leave here Saturday for the 550k drive there. Today was a trip into Broom to restock the Van, hair cut, and pharmacy supplies. I have made a big spaghetti bolognese & am packing it into meal lots & taking it to the Roadhouse where they will fast freeze it for me. How's that?

We hardly recognise our car, it's back to Fjord Blue instead of Australian Red Dust! It was a rewarding job, cleaning it with hose, cloth a polish cloth as well as Lantz elbow grease!

Having running water is a luxury we are enjoying for these 3 days and then it's back to severe water restrictions as we again go Free camping.
