Goodbye WA...

We were told to turn up at 7am to get our windscreen installed, and still hadn’t arrived. So told to return at 10:30am. Went and had coffee at our fave Boab Tree (we should be regular subscribers by now!) and arrived at 10:30am on the dot. Found out our windscreen had arrived and we had to come back at 1pm to have it installed and it would be done by 4pm. So we took off to Ivanhoe Crossing. We watched a few cars drive over up to their bonnet in water and then went to Ivanhoe Farms for a bit of lunch. They had the best fed chooks I’d ever seen. They were also not shy at coming over under the shady grassed area where the tables and chairs were to pick up the crumbs that people had dropped. Midget couldn’t believe it! She just wanted to chase these funny two legged creatures. They weren’t that fussed by her, but she had here eyes popping out of her head trying to get them. Luckily she was securely tied to the chair!

Arrived at 1pm and they started work on the windscreen. Watched the final DVD we had hired, Unravelling Florence. An interesting docu/drama about Florence Broadhurst’s incredible life and death. Produced by Gillian Armstrong (so you know its gotta be good), about a fabulous singer/entertainer and later wallpaper designer extraordinaire, while waiting for the windscreen to be finished. Finally hit the road. We were leaving by hook or by crook!

Finally, after 63 days, we’re leaving the state. Took us a while, but have enjoyed the journey immensely so far. Wonder what NT has in store for us…
