Aus Day 63 - A Lazy Sunday Afternoon

Sunday 21st November Aus Day 63

Being Sunday, I had a lie in until 08.00 this morning after being woken at about 02.00 by the sound of heavy rain falling on the van roof.

Showered and breakfast followed by a session checking my UK bank accounts via the Internet and publishing yesterday’s Blog. I completed this just before 10.00 and then decided to walk into town via the river bank.

I set off just after 10.00 and was soon being plagued by the flies. The walk by the river is via a footpath or boardwalk but only goes as far as Ellis Street. I tried to go further by the road but there was no discernable access. By this time I was about as far as the north end of town so I climbed the hill from the river bank to the main road to the town. The town doesn’t have much more to it than the main road which sports a Caltex filling station, a bank, an IGA supermarket and the Augusta Hotel and Bar. I called into the supermarket for a few bits and pieces and then made my way back to the caravan park along the main road.

I spent a lazy afternoon, during which we had a bit more rain, planning what activites I might be able to cover in the next few days starting with a quick trip down the road to Cape Leeuwin in the morning and then head north east to Bridgetown which is getting into the big tree country.

After this I relaxed by reading my book “The Scent of Shadows” by Vicki Pettersson then came the highlight of my day with a Skype session to Eileen.
A continuing lazy evening, reading and generally chilling out before eventually, Zebedee popped up and sent me off to bed at about 10.30 pm.
