We washed the motorhome at Hopetoun this morning at a very new car/truck wash. We got most of the bugs off (there were a lot of dead locusts which we’d run into on our trip up north near Carnarvon.) However, … Continue reading →

Or first stop this morning was to photograph the “Catastrophic” fire sign.  We’ve seen these all over Australia, and have been amused at the fire category even higher than “extreme”.  This is the first one we’ve actually seen set at … Continue reading →
