Moore River Bridge

Sun 8^th  June

With lots of hugs, kisses and a few tears our group disbanded. Woody and Treas are going to Wave Rock and back to Esperance and Jan and Bernie are going to Perth for a few days. Jan, George, Mick and I headed out to go north. We had a good run through Perth on the freeway and only got held up briefly in a couple of places where the number of lanes reduced. We were quite impressed with how the train line went along the middle of the freeway.  Through the exchange of many texts we were able to meet up with Peta and Gerry, friends we made on last year’s cruise.   We called into their house at Two Rocks and enjoyed lunch with them. It was like old times sitting around the table and chatting and laughing. It was lucky we were able to get the timing right because later this week they are heading off for a 7 week trip of Russia, Siberia, Mongolia and other places we’ve never heard of. We ended up staying at Moore River Bridge camp spot, a free camp with a toilet, tables and a lovely stainless steel electric barbecue that turns on (you can see the light) but it doesn’t heat.  A young Dutch couple who have been living in New Zealand for the last three years pulled up near us and spent a while chatting with us. They are living in their car and are travelling around the country in the opposite direction to us.
