Exmouth to Karratha

That was a long day of travel and hot. We were ready to go by 8.45 am, the last thing to do was check the lights. Brake lights on one side didnt want to work, forty five minutes of Warren checking and pulling lights switches etc apart and we got away with all lights working.

First stop was just a wayside stop but nicely done although we have done without the flies.

There was a bit of shade, a burger bus and chemical toilets, next stop was a roadhouse a further seventy k on and as we needed fuel to make in the Karratha, we decided to stop and eat there, hopefully in A/C, as the temperature was climbing.

Some road works was the most exciting thing to happen but there was a 80 k sign for approz twenty kilometres with no work or guys around.

We followed the water truck for a few ks.

The temp did touch on 44 degrees but there was no where to stop even the next roadhouse did not have any shade. Drivers and passengers had a quick walk around, an icy pole and then drove the last hundred ks in Karratha arriving around five thirty.
