Day 171 – Lucky Bay to Balladonia

It was a dramatic morning sky and I couldn’t resist walking down to the beach for a morning walk. It was peaceful and gorgeous!

The weather was still looking gloomy and cold, so we decided to cut our losses and move on from Lucky Bay. It meant that we would be heading East from Norseman looking to cross the Nullabor and onto South Australia from there. So we quickly stopped in Esperance for brekkie, which turned out to be the perfect place with a massive playroom.

With our bellies full Chris took the girls to the park while I did a little top up shop. Then it was on the road with a long driving stint ahead of us.

There were so many fields along the drive, it’s such farming country around. There were also a couple of salt lakes, but we couldn’t stop too close to them.
We had a fruit & play break in Norseman. The girls definitely do better when we have stops that allow them to be active and burn some energy… we had a little look around, but didn’t stay long. It was nice to finally throw the jackets and jumpers off and get some sunshine!

We made good time and rolled into Balladonia with time to relax a bit before the usual dinner & shower routine. The girls’ hair is getting so long now! The girls finished a bit more homework and Chris cooked a delicious dinner.
