Only a short drive today to a camping ground that we were able to book into so no major hurry.
We were packed up and on the road by around 8:30 or so. We couldn't dump our toilet as something had gone wrong at the caravan park so we hit the road.
It was a very windy day which we knew we would eventually get being near the Western Australia coast.
My main focus was on the fuel gauge! It was showing the same amount of kilometres left in the tank that our fuel stop was down the road so it was going to be very close. I put our spare drum of fuel in the car but it had been laying on its side in the back of the ute and some of it had seeped out over the last 3 or so months, so we didn't get as much as we expected.
We had 120 klms to travel so all we could do was drive as economically as possible but about 10 kilometres away from the roadhouse we ran out of bloody fuel hahaha What an adventure we are having!!
It was about now that Karen pointed out that perhaps we should have waited in line back at the last roadhouse!!
But never fear, I always have a back up to these situations and I knew the diesel heater in the caravan had enough fuel in it to get us to the roadhouse. Just getting it out was going to be the issue. But I managed to join together some spare hose I had packed in my parts kits to syphon enough fuel out of the heater tank into our jerry can and put it in the ute. I had to prime the utes fuel filter a few times to get the air out of system but away we went and got the 10 klms down the road to the roadhouse. And would you believe to another line up to get fuel!! This time we patiently sat and waited our turn hahaha
The camp ground is just around the corner from the roadhouse so we found ourselves a really nice spot right on the edge of the cape over looking the beautiful blue water. Heaps of space in this place, you could fit 1000's of campers if needed.
We set up camp and to our disappointment people with caravans all set up right near us on both ends!! There is around 20 acres of camping here and they set up right next us!
Anyway there is nothing we can do about it. We spent the day looking around the area, which is really nice. The tide was right out so there was no fishing at this point and it was quite windy.
We sat at the edge of the cape and watched the sun go down then made some honey chicken and rice for tea.
We watched some footy and went to bed.
