Menzies

Today we drove 110ks from Leonora to Menzies. We've booked in at the extremely tiny and cheap ($14pn) park for two nights so we can go to Lake Ballard to see the Inside Australia Sculptures that rise up out of the lake. There are 51 of them apparently.

On the way here, we had a near death experience. A woman driving a large 4WD and towing a camper trailer took a corner way too fast coming towards us. The car and trailer nearly tipped on the corner, swayed and bounced around over our side of the road, still doing probably 110ks per hour. Fortunately, I had enough flat shoulder to get off. I watched in my rear view mirror and saw her finally pull up way down the road, so I pulled back on to the road and kept driving. As we drove on, we could see her tyre marks all over the road. It was truly terrifying for us but I'm sure she was even more terrified. It reminds me that when we left Coral Bay I waved and tooted a man down whose brakes were on fire as he towed his van down the road totally oblivious to it all.
