Wednesday 30th July.
Our first stop as we drive north through Perth is to call in to Pioneer to collect a duplicate key which fits most of the compartments on the trailer. The first one had snapped off in one of the locks a day earlier- not a good note on which to set off.
We eventually leave Perth at shortly after 10.00 am and by early evening we find ourselves in Northampton, 477 kms north of Perth, at a well- appointed caravan park. Arriving in the gathering evening gloom may not appear to be ideal for such off – road travel novices but it does offer one major advantage as fellow travellers are not able to see Gail and me attempt our first erection of this trip! We finally manage to get the trailer up after three attempts and settle in for a very comfortable first night on the road.
Cheers
The Obese Ferret
