Hi Derek
At least it is somewhere to stay and from the photo you are not the only ones there.
Enjoy

Moved further towards Albany today.

Stopped in a big gravel pit about 20 kilometres out of Jerramungup. Nice big flat area that would hold quite a few vehicles.

Only ones here so far. Be interesting to see if we get neighbours tonight.

The wind has died down a lot and the rain has passed

I don’t normally take that much notice of fuel prices but nice to see diesel prices starting to fall over here.

Paid $2.35 a litre this morning at Ravensthorpe.

Most we paid so far was $3.03 at the Nullarbor Roadhouse. Fortunately that was only a top up.

One bird I really did want to see this trip is the Red-capped Parrot. They only live in the south west of WA.

Was looking out the window and this one landed about 15 metres away. Took these snaps through the window however as Maggie slowly opened it for a clearer shot it was gone.

Hope to see more though.

Made it to Albany.

Lovely open park here and we have a nice big site at the Tasman Holiday Park.

Even the doggos have grass outside in their pen.

All set up for 4 nights.

Have updated our travel map.

School holidays about to start over here so we are heading north away from the coast for a few weeks once we leave Albany.

Maggie lived over here in the early 70’s for a couple of years so going to do a memory lane trip for her and see if places where she lived still exist.

Doing some running repairs on the motorhome plumbing today and as I was heading for Bunnings Maggie said, grab something for dinner.

Woolies is next door to Bunnings down here so popped in for a look. Just as I got there they were marking down pork ribs so grabbed a small pack. Then to the sauce section where I grabbed some Baby Rays then to the spices where I found a nice rub.

Back at the motorhome I gave the pork a good rub with the spices, wrapped it in double foil and into the Baby Q at 180 degrees for two hours.

After the two hours I took the foil off the top and gave it a good dose of Baby Rays then back on a high heat for another twenty minutes.

Served up with coleslaw and potato salad for a delicious dinner.

As some would say, this is livin’ Barry. Grin
