Yes, we made it into Western Australia. For the last few days we have been free camping our way across the Nullarbor and unfortunately we’ve had no internet so my post from Friday did not go out until tonight. We have just caught up with the news and we are glad we made the WA border before its closes on Tuesday. It seems the situation is getting worse and it’s possible that we will be forced to stay we’re we are post Tuesday’s border closure, so we are making a run for Esperance via Norseman tomorrow. We are booked into the Esperance Foreshore Caravan Park for 4 days from Tuesday, if we are forced to stay at a place for a long period of time, at least it will be somewhere nice and to our liking. Fingers crossed we make it, as there is an expectation of additional measures being implemented at 12pm tomorrow afternoon.

We travelled from our free camp at Bunda Cliffs to Cocklebiddy today, passing thru Border Village (SA/WA border), Eucla and Madura. Stopped for fuel and a vegetable & fruit inspection on the border at Border Village and morning tea at Eucla. Had lunch at Madura and I played “ Brumby’s Run” a par 3 on the Nullarbor Links Golf Course before travelling onto our free camp just outside Cocklebiddy.

Susan and I have been travelling with Steve and Vicki James, my RAAF friends for 40 years (Steve is Shannon’s godfather) since Coffin Bay. We are having a good time (it seems at my expense half the time) despite the problems. We’ll get to Esperance and then find out what decisions have been made about “Grey Nomads” and what lies ahead of us. I suspect we’ll have to stay put for sometime but there’s safety in numbers, so we intend to stick together and support each other. I think we are safe to be within 4 metres of each other after the last couple of weeks. We are all alright and our thoughts are with our families, particularly our kids back home and friends, both here and overseas where the numbers with the virus seem to be increasing exponentially everyday. Let’s hope the world can get over this asap and we can resume normal lives, although I suspect there will be changes ahead for all of us as a result of this.

I’ll keep the blog going, although if we have to stay in the one place for a long period, the posts might become rather infrequent. Good luck and we send our love out to everyone!
