ALBANY

Hit the road as the bus repairs were all finished by 10am so headed for Ravensthorpe with the intention of spending the night there but once i arrived decided to keep going to Albany.
It wasn't an easy drive as it was very windy and in a long high vehicle it can be a challenge keeping it on the road,add that to narrow roads with no shoulder and locus plagues and you get the idea.
The locusts were so heavy at one stage that it sounded like hail as they were hitting the bus and not a pretty sight from where i sit as they all get caught in the stone guard.Check out the photo below.There were heaps more but a lot had dropped off by the time i took the photo.

I actually saw a fox run across the road in front of me today (So much for the 1080 baits) which brings my tally of live wildlife spotted on the road since my journey began to Two Emu's,Two Eagles,One Sheep,One Aboriginal (Yes, really, he just walked out from the bush and crossed the road in front of me) and One Fox.None were in danger of me hitting them as they were all in the distance.

Once again i had trouble finding a caravan park as the first i went to didn't take dogs and the second one was booked out so i got on google and found one that would take dogs and gave them a call and they said they were about to close so i had to beg them to stay open until i could get there which was some 20 mins later.By that time and about 500km's later Meg and i were worn out.

As a matter of interest the Odometer when i first left home was 259607 km and its now 263778 km and counting..................
