hello all
It felt like Melbourne last night in Dalwallinu, it was freezing. I slept dressed in a beanie,trackie dacks and t shirt in a sleeping bag with another sleeping bag over me and shivered all night like a mangey dog. I was rewarded with a beautiful day though with 25c.
It's 6.30pm and i am typing this in thongs and shorts as it's currently 22c
From Dalwallinu i headed north through Paynes Find and Mt Magnet, both old mining towns to another old mining town, Cue.
For you Melbournites not the Kew you are thinking of, this is the other one, the far Cue (think about that one)
I wanted to see the deserted towns of Big Bell and Day Dawn but unfortunately my camper insurance doesn't cover me on unsealed roads. The shell of the old hotel at Big Bell remains and it apparently had the longest bar in Australia for quite some time.
I got to Meekatharra today and had to call it a day as the next facilities are 280km away. In the morning it is off to Newman in the Pilbara and civilisation. Meeka is a nice place if you like flanelette and moccasins and don't mind carrying pepper spray.
