Well, it's been an interesting week on the road, very busy and difficult to get this blog actually started. So for all of you who have been holding your breath in anticipation here goes!
We set out last Saturday and initially decided to seek some warmth and go north instead of straight across  the Nullabor as originally planned. Having spent a few nights in the bus prior to leaving we realized just how cold it was and felt the cold was too much to put up with. However not far past Geraldton I started to feel a bit bored as we had done this road so many times before. And so, much to Johns delight (not), we decided to turn around and make our way back to our original route. We travelled through Mullewa and down to Merriden then back to the great Northern Highway and back on track. On our way we stopped over for two nights at Dalwallinu where I caught up with an old work friend, Ally, who said to say hi to all at the Oaks. Her house is looking fabulous and here is a picture of her at her veggie patch. Apart from the two nights at the caravan park in dalwallinu we have been free camping which we both enjoy. The bus is going well and very comfy and cosy. Weather has been great so far and we have not had too cold a night at all.
Fuel has been reasonable I guess with the highest price so far at $2.3 cents per liter for deisel. Not much you can do though except pay it. Came across a truck that had caught on fire the day before and was still smouldering. The fluid on the ground you can see is all milk as it was a truckload of long life milk and olives (but no olives left).  Will put some pictures of it as well. Luckily the driver was able to unhitch and drive the prime mover away before it went completely up in flames.
Enjoying everything so far but missing the family a bit of course especially when Rylee got on the phone today and said "nana please come home".
Looking forward to staying somewhere for more than one night though. Have been cooking some nice meals especially as when we cross the border all of the fruit and veg have to go. So it's been stewed fruit and casseroles past two night.
Will put the pictures on as soon as I remember how to and please note there are not yet any pics of flowers as yet. Although we did see some beautiful pics of Sturt Peas past Coolgardie.
Talkies soon
