Day 118 – Port Headland – Thierings on Tour

The wind was absolutely howling last night and this morning and it kept me awake for hours, as it felt like the van would tip in the wind, but of course it didn’t. However it did mean that when we woke up we were on a speedy pack up schedule just to escape the wind and the flying sand/dust that came with it. They don’t call WA Windy Always for nothing… The sunrise was beautiful though.

We headed south towards Karijini, but at the first stop Chris jumped under the car to check its status and the bag had half unravelled, the boot was boiling hot and Chris made the call to turn around and head to Port Headland instead to get the car fixed yet again. Another feeling of disappointment, and as if the roadhouse heard us it had motivational quotes up on the wall for us.

We were lucky that a mechanic was open all day Saturday and could fit us in to change the drive shaft we now have as a spare always in the car.

It meant we had some time to kill, Kmart is a great time waster for these things… after we were sick of waiting around we grabbed a taxi back and headed to the pool. It was pretty cold, but refreshing.
