Kalgoorlie to Merredin – 332km

Yet another cold morning – but overcast this time, so not quite so bad. Rick woke up with a really nasty sinus headache – a response to all the dust being blown about.
Stopped at a couple of the rest areas mentioned in Camps Australia 5 – Boorabin Rest Area in particular looks like it could be a good place to stop. Had morning tea there, and moved onto Southern Cross for lunch.
When we reached Merredin, we initially booked an unpowered site, but that **** heater just refused to fire up. The voltage was good and the pump working, but it just wouldn’t start. Tried a few times but it just refused. We ended up moving to a powered site so that we could use the electric heater. After moving and settling, I tried the diesel heater one more time AND IT WORKED FIRST TIME. Needless to say – some harsh words were said!!!!!
