Western Australia...at last!

Not sure how many kilometres we've covered but we are a day away from Dongara W.A. and have endured some dodgy motels and averaged about 12hours driving daily...Steve that is, not me. I have read 20 books, checked off every 100 kilometres on our map and prodded Steve from time to time to make sure he hasn't dozed off. The landscape has been almost featureless other than stopping at the Great Australian bite to gaze over the crystalline ocean with its awesome cliffs. We passed one truck that had a rollover, a small number of grey nomads, but get this, saw not one live kangaroo and only a few roadkill. Amazing! Though its obvious that it has rained recently and that has probably scattered them.
At the border a very overweight fellow relinquished us of all our fresh fruit, veges and honey. I figured he probably had a good racket trading everything that was quarantined for chocolates and chips at the nearby BP.
After one coffee stop we sped off down the highway when we heard a loud thwack. I had forgotten to load our plastic box with food items and it flew off the trailer and exploded on the bitumen. Tea, coffee, milo, sugar and my favourite dutch biscuits disintegrated on impact, shattering containers and denting our stainles steel coffee mugs and saucepan....(the one that replaced smoking pot.) Other paraphenalia was scattered in all directions. We spent an hour picking up pieces of plastic and glass and I resisted scraping the biscuit crumbs off the road. I cursed myself for being a stupid cow, but, after all it was Friday 13th.....
Tonight we are in a clean friendly park with a gorgeous corella who took a liking to Steve. Just quietly I think Steve is pretty miffed that he can still attract goodlooking birds!
