Another Bloody Crack

Sunday 16 June

Awake at 0630 as it was bright sunshine in the van due to us being so far east of Perth. Leisurely start as we did some washing and Larry scrounged a second hand switch from PJ to fix the original on the PPDSS so that is easier to operate in the coming weeks.

Paul came down and sussed the shower screen door issue and came up with a couple of solutions. He did both and now we are confident the door will not come off so a big thanks to Paul for his efforts and ingenuity.

We then ventured into Wyndham itself and down to the port hoping to go to the cafe we went to in 2016 but it has been turned into a shop selling souveniers so we bought a soap instead.

Back into the 3 mile area and called into the cafe/bakery for a pie and pastie so lunch was sorted. Next stop was the grocery store to stock up for the Gibb. That completed we headed back to the van to unload the food and we decided to head to the King River area. 

We went across the salt flats as per 2016 visit and just after we joined the dirt road there was a fire burning fiercely next to the road so we turned around and went back across the salt marsh until we found some tracks that lead us to the King River.

We didn’t see any crocs so back into the trusty Jeep and headed back to the van. At this stage we noticed a crack in the new windscreen. We did get hit yesterday but it didn’t seem to do any damage. Found the impact point which is about 0.5cm from the edge of the bottom corner so that is frustrating to crack a new windscreen. Applied some superglue to the end of the crack in the hope it may stop it from getting bigger and if not it will have to be replaced when we get back to Perth.

Larry went with Paul and the kids to 6 mile creek and put the drone up in the hope of spotting at least one of the crocs that live there but to no avail as the sun was in the wrong direction so made it hard to see.

Around 4:30 we headed up to the Bastion for a couple of drinks with half the population of Wyndham and watched the sunset and it was very nice watching the sun go down with the cloud turning an orange colour.

Deb cooked us a yummy lamb roast for dinner.  Off to bed fairly early as we are going fishing with Paul and Deb tomorrow which will be long day but thoroughly looking forward to it.
