Travel Day. Cervantes to Perth 254km
On the road 10.30am
Huge storm overnight in Cervantes. Bucket loads of rain. So much so that standing on the inside of the tent near the door way it felt like a water bed under foot!! We stepped outside to find table, chairs, shoes, all sopping wet. The fridge had gone off at some stage because the power board was under water too. Lucky for the safety switch. After thinking shit, shit, shit we got to work emptying water out of chair magazine pockets and getting the fridge powered up again. We moved everything to a space between two cabins behind us hoping to dry some of the things out before we got the next down pour of rain. That didn't happen. The rain fell relentlessly and we packed up in the pouring rain. Oh, the joys!!
Leaving Cervantes it got to a point were we couldn't see the road. It was slow going for a long while. It did improve as we got closer to Perth but it didn't stop. So, guess what? We set up in the rain! Thank goodness for the great facilities at park it helped us get over the wet weather.
