It was an uneventful drive ( happy about that !! ) only passed 5 cars & a truck . The countryside is still wheat belt , with some of the fields extending into the distance , without a fence in sight . There a sheep grazing the stubble and today we saw some cattle as well . Many more granite outcrops and rolling hills - we are anything between 300 to 420 metres above sea level here .
Arriving in Corrigin , we went into the caravan park and booked in for a couple of nights , set up again , then I decided to check the wheel bearings - we had them changed a few weeks ago , now they needed checking and tightening - at least 3 out of 4 did !!
After the wheel bearings , it was lunch time - Bbq time , very nice too !!! Sorry we don't do food pics.
Time to check out some of Corrigin - up to the RSL lookout . There is a Turkish Mountain Gun from WW1 , captured with a lot of Turkish soldiers .
This is what it looks like , to look down the barrel .
The memorial overlooks town .
From here we cruised around town , checked out the shopping centre , the swimming pool that doesn't open on Thursdays , the golf course and then a little circuit out of town to the north then back again . The fields are starting to green up after the rain , much to the farmers dislike - they would prefer no rain now as it sets off the weed seeds and grass , then they will have to spray it with herbicide before it takes too many nutrients from the soil - it basically creates more work for them at this time of year when they are relaxing from the harvest . It does make it look better though !!
Back to the RV for some salsa & beer & berocca , sitting out in the shade with a little breeze blowing , it's a tough life , and we are enjoying it !!!
