Day of Salvation and Repair

DAY: 5
Made our way to Kalgoorlie by 9 am and off to find a Canvas manufacturer to help us decide how to fix the Camper first one the guy wasn’t there, and wouldn’t be back until lunch time…so off to the next one Fiesta Canvas these guys went above and beyond helping us and before we knew it the major issue was all fixed...A guy called Paul with very long skinny dreadlocks bit of a character did the job and after all the mucking around only cost $110 unreal we were stoked…he did a great job...plus the a patch on the roof was done only bit not done was the back section that has torn. So I asked for some long strips to try and fix it myself….While John helped him Bill and I got the groceries….probably have too much. We did have m/tea up the Main Street at Cafe 312….I told Bill it was Cafe 321…. Groceries were more expensive but that’s to be expected in the outback….
Bought yucky lunch from KFC which was awful…wish I would just learn to say no, it’s not the same as it used to be always cold and gluey….We set off for the Gourmley Statues at Lake Ballard….

Wasn’t a very interesting trip other than a really great road… the Lake is a dry bed lake with a huge mound in the middle with a track going to the top and spindley trees growing on it….
The statues aren’t that impressive either other than they depict aboriginal looking 👀 in various nude posses on the lake floor……a bit different that’s for sure….the sunset wasn’t even that amazing, but a nice relaxed evening sitting around chatting with Bill….he has a little oven that I managed to cook my fish bites in…. Another pasta with onion and mushroom….a good start to some nice meals…back to tasty meals unlike the US… I did forget to buy John a new towel and get some more wine…I don’t know where my mind is at present but it’s not working all that well…..Read more
