18th November 2013-Heading Off

Monday 18th November 2013
Les, myself and Sam the Chihuahua packed up and headed off early, having spent some time at Emu Beach Caravan Park whilst we got the final touches done. We made some new friends while we were there as they had pulled in right next to us a couple of days before, towing the exact same Jayco caravan with the exact same Mazda! We were able to give each other tips on living in the vans and different set ups of storage.

We weren't sure how far we were going to go today but ended up at Salmon Gums-a tiny town that's about half way between Esperance and Norseman. They brag about having the cheapest fuel until the border and this claim is correct (Their price is usually the same as Albany prices!!) They should brag at having the cheapest caravan park too as at $15/night for a powered site you can't go wrong. We will not have water hook up from now until Penong (4 days drive away) We are carrying 160 litres and this sounds like a lot but when it has to do everything from showering to drinking it can quickly disappear if you're not careful. From now on I will use the parks ablution blocks for showering as I prefer the luxury of a long hot shower in an ablution block over a short fast shower in the van-that's the girl in me I suppose!!
