Australian grain bins at Binnu
We started the long drive back to Sydney yesterday, March 31. In the morning we had the oil changed at Ningaloo Auto Repairs. We arrived before they opened (though we were on time) and waited for a few minutes for the repairman to arrive. There were two dogs in the compound, and it was interesting that they became excited when they heard the repairman’s vehicle more than a block away. They did a thorough look over the underneath of the motorhome while it was on the hoist, and said that it looked good. It was nice to deal with the friendly people in a small town.
After that we drove south over 650 km to the rest area at Nerren Nerren where we stopped for the night. It was a nice free campsite, and since it cooled off nicely in the evening we had a restful sleep. There were a lot of flies there this morning when we were packing up though, so it was head net time again.
We didn’t drive as far today, as we wanted to stop at a beach again before leaving this part of Western Australia. We stopped at the Dongara-Denison Big 4 Beach Holiday Park. There is a nice swimming beach here right beside the breakwater. Enid and I enjoyed swimming in the warm, not hot, Indian Ocean. There are some small reefs covered with seaweed, and they had little fish swimming about, as well as a lot of small crabs on the rocks of the breakwater.
We are back in the farming country of Western Australia. We drove by a lot of fields today, and once again started seeing the huge grain storage bins that they have at their delivery sites in the towns.
