First days on the road

With barely room to slide a piece of paper either in the truck, in the trailer or on the roof of the Toyota, we leave a cold, wet and windy Dongara and begin our very long journey home.
All day the wet weather follows us north to beautiful Coral Bay where we finally get some respite from the rain.  It is still overcast as we book into our cabin accomoodation and explore this very pretty piece of coastline.
Next day onward  with a quick stop at Wickham because our good friends over east spent many years here....it's not hard to see why they left!
The countryside on this part of the west coast has barely changed after a day and a half of driving, but the subtle changes are there, and it's joyful when we spot some colour on this amazing red dirt.  So red in fact that even the usually clean white corellas have changed colour! Imagine how surprising then, to find a lovely white peacock during one of our stops.
At South Headland we book into a motel owned by Fortesque metals and although the rate per room is expensive, 3 meals are provided so we take the opportunity to load up with enough good tucker to last a few extra meals.We make a decision not to camp on this journey....a comfortable bed and a shower proves to be a blessing after long hours driving.
