Coolgardie to Yellowdine 157k
Posted by cyclenullabor on April 15, 2009
Oh the sun! Hasn’t anybody told WA that it’s now 6 weeks till winter? It continues to shine down at 30 degress, which makes us both quite grumpy, especially on long days.
The climbs increased a bit more today and we went through a burnt out section of National Park, very sad to see the skeletons of trees reaching uptowards the endless blue sky. A few truckies weren’t bothering to give us a wide berth on this road, but for the most part we were coming to recognise the regulars, and a few mentioned they’d seen us on every one of their runs for the past week.
Again we ran into some caravanners we had seen before – they certainly aren’t in a hurry – and we got a fresh supply of fruit, so welcome as today was our final day with no towns between destinations.
And Yellowdine is not a town. It is a servo that has only been open for 4 days. The owners are so friendly and enthusiastic – they didn’t even want us to pay for camping. It was nice to see such friendly people – if you ever happen to be driving to Kalgoorlie stop in and say hi.
