We drove to Port Germein as we read about free showers near
the waterfront. It was a lot colder today and still very windy. The showers
were pretty cold but free and clean. We walked on Port Germein’s 1.3 km pier
for a bit, but it was too cold and windy to make it all the way to the end.
Next stop was Port Augusta. Not as big as we expected but
good enough for all the last shopping needs before heading into the outback.
Our original plan was to head towards Perth and then up to
Broome. Then we realised the wet season would start soon in the north. It will
get very warm and humid and as we aren’t looking forward to be confronted with
a cyclone we decided to change our initial plan.
We are going to cross the outback fairly quickly in the
coming days. We have seen most of the touristic highlights along this road
anyway. So this afternoon we got the
first 500 km over with. It wasn’t too hot today so that was a plus!
In the evening we camped next to the highway where we sat
around the campfire with the neighbours for a bit. They had prepared jacked
potato for us in the fire. Such a nice gesture.
