Southern Cross

Made the short drive to Southern Cross. If I had to describe Southern Cross in one word it would be COLD. If I had to describe Southern Cross in two words, well I think you can guess what goes before cold. Stevie is everyone's favourite dog because if you ask nicely she will sit on your lap and keep you warm.
We learnt today that Sundays and Mondays in small country towns you will struggle to get a coffee and you'd think you had won lotto if you can get a pie.
Kellerberrin was a lovely stop. Spent quite a few hours in the pub last night. Well actually outside the pub last night because we had dogs. Went back to our van and turned on our sparkly new diesel heater in the van. Worked a treat. Went to bed cosy, warm and smug. Look at us with our lovely warm van.
About an hour after going to bed the heater reached temperature and turned off. But it announces itself as it turns off "heater off". Then it gets cold and turns back on, with another announcement "heater on". This continued all night. We are not so smug now.
Graham and Dave went "gold prospecting" in Southern Cross and there are now a few less bottle tops out there. And Graham just about took Anne out when they returned back by driving into her chair. Apparently it was funny.
Must go now as my hands are frozen and I can't type.Read more
