hi all
well i'm back from ( KALGOORLIE PROSPECTOR CARAVAN PARK ( it's night stay/3 day trip
the road was good all the way but it was a hot day tuesday 23/3/10 and wednesday as
well

but we survived and did'nt join our passed loved one!!!!!
from bunbury to merredin the temp ranged from 25 then 20 as i passed one bad electrical storm on collie williams rd and followed another from narrogin onwards then after
corrigin light rain cleared and temp slowly crept up to 33.5 at merredin then went up rapidly to 35 /36/37/38 and stayed there until
coolgardie where it dropped to 36.5 at 4.00pm and stayed there until about 9pm in kalgoorlie.
had a cooler return trip 25/3/10 yesterday 23deg at kalg on depature at 8.15am only got to 29deg between
bruce rock and wickepin then cooled slowly as i headed through to collie /bunbury good rds and hardly saw any traffic either way the paddocks already have a green tinge showing as the seeds burst into life
8hr trip both ways 750km's had 4 brief stops going up and 3 coming back ate grapes and plums and sipped ice coffee each way and didnt get tired and didnt speed 7.16 ltrs/100km up and 6.1 ltrs/100km on return trip cooler and mostly down
hill
2005 vw golf 1.9 turbo diesel hatchback / camper-trailer 450kg loaded a very good combined unit and a pleasure to drive suits my needs when camping/travelling
( on-rd type only)
just want to say the"PROSPECTOR CARAVAN PARK"was very exceptable
friendly staff and
clean amenities block and
the pool was refreshing and clean plenty of washing machines etc and clothes lines with blue metal under them
and thanks again to those who gave me the good oil on it
there was green matting to put the camper trailer on so didnt need to unfold my own ground sheet brick paths to the amenities
on wednesday they sealed the park roads from
the entrance past office and around the park to link and complete all unsealed sections so now will be no dust from traffic coming and going with/in
no trouble with power the campers kitchen was also clean with good facilities 2 fridges tv toaster electric kettle/microwave sink /hot/cold water and plenty of large seats and tables only paid $24.80 powered site per night for 1 person
