Another really sunny morning. Tracy has just got the laundry in from yesterday and put another load out.
We have decided to stay yet another night. So we headed for woolworths to stock up.
Decided we would head for Tickera today - a small village (population 70). We found a picnic spot to have a cuppa. Found there were a lot of flies so ended up sitting in the van.
We did see a Skink close up - we got about 12 inches away from it.
There were people working on the beach, moving large boulders from one side to the other. Could not work out the reason for this.
We did spot a new house being built - so took a photo to remind us of how it was done here.
Tracy noticed some odd looking plants and I explained that they were the Aloe Vera plant. This one was quite amusing though.. So Tracy got busy with the camera.
Had a lovely lunch, and then decided to head back, taking photos of the road as we went.
Then OH came across a sign that said "Road Closed" follow detour - We did not think much of this and followed the detour signs. Just like being back in the UK, except in OZ if they need to shut a road they send you on the next shortest route, and if that happens to be along the beach then so be it.. Yes they had graded a level surface in the sand and diverted all traffic along it. This included the Road Trains (70 tonne trucks). We found this most amusing and took photos.
Got back to the campsite and went for a walk along the beach ( missing the cars as we went).
As the weather was so nice we both got in the water - up to our knees, not quite warm enough for a swim yet.
Tracy got the laundry in - A womans work is never done.
Animal count for today is poor..
1 Skink.
STILL NO KANGAROO...
If you notice a lot of pictures of road signs - then I am sorry but Tracy has developed a strange fetish for them........
