Today we were planning to drive to Lake Ballard, an about
180 km drive north of Kalgoorlie to see some famous sculptures on a massive
Salt Lake. Apparently it’s a fascinating sight and great photo opportunity
around sunset and sunrise.
As it was going to be extremely hot today we decided to
spend the morning in the local swimming pool which everybody was raving about.
Indeed it was a great pool but unless you have children or you are there to
swim laps we didn’t think it was that special. But at least it was cool and we
had some time to kill anyway.
In the early afternoon we drove north towards the lake. We
stopped at a parking spot just out of town to prepare some lunch and by then it
was so unbelievable hot we decided to change our plans and skip the lake as
Monique didn’t see the point of driving the almost 400 kilometers detour to see
some sculptures at a salt lake.
So instead we drove south again via Coolgardie. Coolgardie
had a few nice historical buildings but apart from that there was nothing to
see or do.
Back in Norseman we had read about a nice spot to camp on a
little hill overlooking yet another salt lake. Upon arrival we discovered it
was indeed a very nice place with a lovely view. Unfortunately a big group of
European bees had taken over the place and as soon as we opened our car they
tried to invade our car. Things just don’t seem to work out as we want it to
lately.
So once again we had to adjust our plans. On top of that we
heard some weird sound coming from our right front wheel and as it was
getting late we decided to check in at the local caravan park. Sander did a few
checks on the wheel and in the end didn’t find anything strange. Pfew!
We hardly took any pictures today and the few we made aren’t
worth sharing so you’ll have to do without today.
