No photos today.
A quiet day as we are getting ready to resume our travels again.
I cycled out to Ivanhoe Crossing and return. The return trip, of only about 12 kms, was hard going as the wind was gusting up to about 40 km/hr. It felt like ride up a hill on the way back with very slow speed.
Prue went out for a walk around Kununurra again and she sent a text message suggesting I meet her at the Boab Bookshop and Cafe for coffee which I readily agreed to. So we had fruit toast with our coffee.
A chance to do some washing as we will be on the move until early next week when we again stop at Mataranka.
After all the washing was done, a little quiet time before an early lunch at Ivanhoe Farms Cafe. A nice baguette filled with bacon and brie as well as lettuce was all we needed along with another coffee.
The Bravo was serviced at Argyle Motors which is just opposite the Town Caravan Park that we are staying in. It was oil and filters replaced and the wheels rotated so as to even the wear, which is negligible.
While the Bravo was being serviced, we walked the very short distance to Coles to get a few items as well as a new little battery for the bike computer.
After the Bravo service they told me a light was not functioning so I spend some time trying to sort it out. It is not a really important light so it will wait until I get more time. Just frustrating.
Then a very sad phone call from Malcolm in the USA to say one of his best military friends, Lindsay Sojan, died suddenly while riding his bicycle to work today in Perth. He told his ride partner he felt unwell and to stop and that was the sad end. He leaves behind a wife and 12 month old son. Poor Malcolm is distraught especially being so far away from his friends and family. We have spoken to Lindsay’s mother who said she is numb.
So some more thinking on how we can help our young family especially at this extremely sad time. There will be some change to our travel plan.
