One of them was Latham Community Centre, a free camp at a very small town, no shop, just a PO operating for one hour each morning and a small school which is due to close at the end of the year. The community Centre was new, great shower and toilets, looked after by a resident who was very passionate about the area and appreciated a donation, with the donations she plans to plant trees and will put a tag on with names of the people, we hope to go back one day and see if there is a tree marked Brian, Gill and Bentley.....
Our next site was an abandoned town called Minnivale, still a few houses around and the ruins of a bakery, we had heavy rain driving into here, but the next morning was fine and we had a walk around for photos.
We camped at another abandoned town, Kwolyin, 40ks from Bruce Rock, great free campground with toilets and camp kitchen, nothing at all left of a town, except the church. We stayed here two nights and did some fossicking around, came up with 20 cents from around the church. One morning it was zero degrees and frost on the windscreen, we were glad of our gas heater that morning.
Last night we camped out side Lake Grace at the lake and today we have travelled to Porongurups Caravan Park, only 50ks from home but we wanted one more night on the road......
Well we are home now, couldn't send blog last night, easy run into Albany and parked van in the driveway before a shower of rain..... Lots of unpacking to do, Bentley very excited to be home, ran around and around the back garden
