Day 5. Kalgoorlie "Good idea turned bad"

After arriving in Norseman at about 10.30 am in the morning my plan was to go to Esperance where i would rest for a few days and then i had a bright idea that i would go to Kalgoorlie instead as i probably wouldn't get another chance because after Esperance i will be heading West around the coast so after some grocery shopping i set off for Coolgardie where i would stay the night and have a rest then drive the 50km to Kalgoorlie the next day but then i had another idea and googled caravan parks in Kalgoorlie and thought i may as well go there and stay the night.This is where it all went wrong because when i got there i couldn't find anywhere to stay as they were either full,would only take permanents or wouldn't accept dogs so that plan went out the window so i drove another 50 odd km's to another caravan park at Kambalda that was in my camp book but when i got there it was a permanent park also so i had no choice but to drive all the way back to Norseman but by this time it was late in the day,I was tired ,Meg was tired and i struck all the miners traffic as they were knocking off for the day.
Finally arrived back in Norseman at 7.45 pm after doing between 600 or 700km's for the day.
Kalgoorlie will have to wait.......
