The (not boring) long road !

Image Could Not Be Found G'day Folks

I had reason(s) to travel from the Pilbara to Perth ~ by vehicle over the last couple of days solo, actually the Ipod and I.

The changes that visually took place can only be summed up as amaizing.

I headed south out of Newman at 03:00 on Wednesday the 15th, choosing to travel in the early hours mainly to enjoy the relative coolness of the dark as opposed to the bright sunshine and the 40 + day time temperatures.

The twist in the story was the weather ~ a severe tropical low forming off the WA coast ~ a possible Cyclone ?

Did I do enough at home to prevent major damage? would my wife be able to handle a catastrophe should one happen, would I be able to stand eating just one more can of Heinz beans in ham sauce if I was marooned ~ all unknown and weighing heavily on my mind ;0)

At around 35ks out of town I came across the remains of a not so ~ prime mover.

I'm not sure how or why ~ yet. Even the much maligned UHF channel 40 people were saying next to nothing about the incident?

All was fairly uneventful until well into the morning and close to the little town of Cue (Queen of the Murchison) once upon a long time ago! ~ a nice "Willy~ Willy" was shifting the dust and dirt out on the near bone dry lake bed thats called Lake Nallan, not unusual for this time of year and it has been drought conditions for a very long while but a mere 36 hours it had all changed from dust bowel to brim full and most people say we live in a boring place !

Don't be bored ~ observe history taking place as you drive.

Have a safe and peaceful Christmas.
