Day 22 – 4th February 2018 – Cocklebiddy to Norseman

Pleased to say that when we woke up in the morning the water had mostly drained away and we were able to get out of the Gravel Pit camp near Cocklebiddy quite easily.  It did rain hard overnight, so I was relieved.

We packed up camp and drove to Norseman where we found a beautiful free camp in town.  To get there we drove along Australia’s longest straight piece of road on the Eyre Highway.  146.6km without a bend.

I finished my Audible book ‘The Silent Child’ by Sarah A. Denzil, and really enjoyed it.  Started the next one and it is nowhere near as good, ‘The Girls of Mischief Bay’ by Susan Mallery.  But still keeps me alert and helps massively with concentration while driving.  The towing is also going really well so far too, I am pleased to say.

We didn’t arrive in Norseman until after 4pm and as it was Sunday, the shops were closed.  So Col got creative for dinner with what food we still had (as we had to throw out our fresh fruit and veg crossing the border).
