30th September was a longer drive, 423k to Balladonia Roadhouse, Caravan Park. It's one of those places where you stay 1 night, when we said we wanted 3 nights we got a funny look! We HAD to be at a place to be sure of TV, it was "Grand Final" weekend for both football codes.
Brian set up the satedish dish & we had good TV Friday night and Saturday UNTIL the game started!!!
Wind, rain and cloud, we had no reception, but were able to go to the Roadhouse and watch it withe 17 others. Luckily all were cheering for The Bulldogs, all from Victoria. The wind kept up for the 3 nights and we were glad to have power for our heater. 
As it said, a one night stop is enough but as has happened all this trip, it was for the best.
I went for a shower between showers (yes that's correct), no water in the park, it's bring your own, but they do have showers. While I was having mine, a big storm came through, what a noise it made. As I stepped out it was all gone......I told Brian when I got back, that I had been so lucky & he said 'there was NO storm at all......just the wind in the ablution block......then the same happened to him. Golly it was funny at the time.
We enjoyed the AFL game & our 19 people would have made the MCG attendance 100,000. A great occasion. The NFL on Sunday didn't get the same attendance, it was just Brian and the Bar girl! Melbourne Storm lost much to Brian's disappointment.
All ready for a big day across a lot of The Nullabour road tomorrow.
Does your electric blanket work on the battery power. Getting soft in your old age ;)
