Thursday November 2nd we left Dongara and drove to Guilderton where we’ll stay for 3 nights before heading into Perth. Dongara was one of the best parks we have stayed in and I was sad to leave this morning. We booked another week on our way up north next year as we left. The managers Kev and Jeanette and staff of the small park work very hard to make it a clean, safe, fun place to stay and I’m sure they get lots of repeat business because of that. It comes highly recommended if you are ever passing through, but I think you would need to book as it is small.
Our long term neighbours Don and Shirley were fun, and we met lots of nice couples just moving through. We especially liked an English couple we met at drinks last night. They came to Aus with no real plan, bought an old ford complete with camping gear and off they went. They seem to be having the time of their lives.
We managed to catch and cook a number of crabs that are now safely in the freezer and waiting to get to Perth but the only fish we caught of any size was my flat head.
Last night the park managers put an interesting proposition to us-they’d like us to come back in 16 months and manage the park for them for a year. It’s tempting to say the least, so watch this space……
Now we’re in Guilderton (after a very pretty drive past lots of shrubs in flower), but we seem to have no TV reception, the wind is blowing a gale, the internet won’t work, Russ just scraped heaps of skin off his toes, a neighbour had to help us park the van (very rare we can’t do it) and it was MY idea to come here. Not happy Jan!
