We're back

Sorry, sorry, what more can I say?  We left Kalbarri after a short time and made our way home.  It was just too hard for me.

My right hip was painful, it was difficult getting in and out of the caravan and my left foot was swelling and also painful.  It wasn't fair on Steve so we made the decision to work our way home over a few days.  That was the end of May/beginning of June and I've rested up since then.

We are now in Cue.  Our friends, Chris and Yvonne are into gold prospecting so we've come up with them.  They're here for a week then will go home and Steve, Tim and myself will go somewhere else.   They drove up on Saturday and we left on Wednesday.  We had a night at New Norcia which was disappointing because I was hoping to go to the bakery but the only place you can buy their products is at the roadhouse or the museum.  It was very noisy because of all the road trains.

We were parked on the oval and a lady came to talk to us about Cystic Fibrosis.  She was saying her son in law worked at Telethon and did we know him but we don't.  We know Mark who I used to work with and who visits Paige every time she goes into PMH.  She loves his visits because they're educational.  One time he drew all the planets in relation to the sun and explained about 'stuff'.

Then we spent a night in a rest area further north but I can't remember the name and the map book is in the car and Chris and Steve have gone looking for gold in it.  The litter around that place was terrible, there was another couple in a motor home who had collected a few black bin liners full of rubbish.

So, we've had four nights here.  The site is red dust and gravel which is being blown about yesterday and today.  We've had a few sprinkles of rain but nothing like they've had in Perth.  The amenities block is brilliant, very new and very clean.

There's nothing in Cue, other than a roadhouse, post office, police station and a shop.  I've not been off the site apart from one day when we all went looking for gold.  There's poison bait everywhere so I stay here and look after the dogs.  Timmy loves camping and Yvonne's dog Urkel, who's a rescued Great Dane was a bit unsettled at first but he's okay now.

The caravan is parked so that everyone who exits the showers/toilets can see the writing regarding Cystic Fibrosis.  Unfortunately no one has asked if they can donate but we're doing what we originally wanted to do which is raising awareness around the place.
