Today is Friday and We are finally getting around to adding a post. After leaving home at the coast we called in to visit friends in Northam, Tom and Lois, we stayed the night and headed off on the Great Eastern Highway. Tom first came to our notice many years ago after driving his Austin Seven to Aus overland from UK, "Egbert" still lives with them. Along the road are many places where people can pull over for a rest and we availed ourselves of one at Karalee Rocks after visiting Southern Cross.Photo is of the Dogs of the dogalog, a type of catalogue for a hardware chain. Realizing that we hadn't spent much money the campground at Coolgardie beckoned, we love the little town which was once a metropolis with stock exchanges. The main road runs through the middle of the town and is immensely wide to enable camel trains to turn! We then came on to Kalgoorlie and the rally, where we have been working flat strap as volunteers, thousands of people from all over have been arriving and most are really nice.We've met up with Hanny and Ralph from Perth and after the rally we will be spending time with them before heading east across the Nullabor.
