We get down to about 3 degrees overnight and it takes a bit of warming up in the sunshine on our final morning at Carnarvon. Once motivated and moving we are packed up and heading off to our next camp for the night - although we are as yet unsure exactly where that will be.
We finally make the decision to head for Rolleston thinking we might stop here for a night in the caravan park to do some washing. We are in Rolleston for morning tea - only to find there are no shops here - and then we see like 2 dozen caravans pulled up around the back of a little park.
We head around there to investigate - and to take a toilet break at the park - and we find a gorgeous little park with lovely garden furniture dotted around and a volunteer community coffee truck. There is only one young girl working the coffee and cakes from this truck and quite a line up if patrons waiting in line.
It was such a lovely little spot on this sunny morning that we waited our turn to get fuelled up with coffee and then sat and enjoyed it in the sunshine chatting with other travellers.
(Bloody hell I forgot to take any photos - damm it!!)
We decide to keep on the road and head for Moura where we should be able to get checked into the caravan park and get the washing done still in time to dry this afternoon. Nothing takes long to dry out here in the dry heat - even in winter if it's sunny.
Moura is a mining and gas town - and the caravan park is full of mine workers living in dongas - the fly-in/ fly outs. They seem to work around the clock even on weekends (today is Saturday) - and this is the quietest caravan park I have ever been in - with guys either at work or sleeping.
We take a quick late afternoon walk around Moura - but there is not a lot to see and the town is closed up - being a Saturday afternoon.
I did like this sign outside a rural supplies/produce store -- very interesting!!!
All the washing done and dried today - we planned to move on down to Theodore tomorrow.
