Thursday 31st July
Up bright and early and pleased to find that packing the camper- trailer is a very straightforward exercise. Our aim is to get up into the Kimberley as quickly as possible and on this trip we will not be making any detours to such well- known locations as Monkey Mia , Denham , Coral Bay or Exmouth. They will have to wait for another day. Apart from a quick drive through the township of Carnarvon we have a very uneventful 700 kms drive, through some fairly uninspiring country, aiming to reach a campsite about 220 kms north of Carnarvon.
Unfortunately about 50 kms short of our intended destination we encounter an extra wide load which takes up the whole of the road. After crawling behind it for about 10 kms we admit defeat, do a u-turn and check into the Mia Mia free camping ground.Whilst this does not have any showers the toilets are fine and we are able to find a location far from the madding crowd with their large caravans and noisy generators.
We now have erecting the trailer down to a fine art and get off to bed confident that we are well on the way to becoming seasoned off-road travellers!
Cheers
The Obese Ferret.
