View from the lookout, great 15 minute walk from our camp
We are allowed into Hopetoun (9km away), for water and food, we can do great walks around the NP and beaches too. Our neighbours are Bevan and Rhonda, a bit older than us from Toowoomba Qld. in a small off road caravan like ours, Christina from Germany and her partner Georgeo from Italy, in a swag, and Frank a WA local who lives in one NP to the next NP, depending on his mood, quite perturbed that he will be in one spot long enough to put up his tent and tarp, instead of just the swag. We are all helping each other out with resources as needed.....Bevan’s generator came in handy to charge Derek’s shaver 😂 and sharing the toilet paper provided like normal human beings.
We have local kangaroos who are not faithful to any one camp site,
a mallee foul that waits for us to shower so he can have a drink at the rear of the amenities block,
possums that play on our roofs, a poisonous snake near the amenities that is keeping its distance, a huntsman spider in the van that got to live another day back out in the bush........but we are grateful for the daily hot showers and toilets cleaned twice a day by the ranger. We only have internet service near the beach - good excuse to stretch our legs. We download Netflix movies to watch later, we are still competing with Bevan and Rhonda as to who will catch the first fish, the Europe couple enjoy picking all the pollution that washes up on to the shore, and Frank and I are always trying to identify the sea birds that fly past. Hand washing every few days, and all this while social distancing.
Our own private road shared by Mother Roo and Joey.
“Our” immediate region is virus free at the moment, so for now this is “home”.
