Today's trip was a short one of only around 3hrs to we took our time.
We first rose early in the morning, Dad and I at least, for a coffee and a walk around the station. Then, once everyone else was awake we cooked up bacon, sausages and eggs in the camp kitchen. This was nice.
After breakfast we started to break camp and got both vans to the point that we could drive off. We then went for a group walk to the top of a nearby hill. This gave us a great view out over the station. We could see the caravan park and many small cairns that people had made. We also found a group of rock wallabies on the far side of the hill and spotted a group of kangaroos in a distant field. This made the kids morning.
When we returned to the vans we stopped for a few more photos, one of some bush humour, before heading off for Norseman.
We need to stop here to inquire about a fossicking location we could find agate at. Unfortunately we could only access the free site with the van so it was here we headed, down a long and winding dirt track. It ended up being a nice spot with a fireplace so we got that going for our coffee and tea and had lunch before specking around for agate pieces. We found a few and it will be interesting to get home and cut them up to see how they really look.
We left Norseman after this to head to Kalgoorlie where we have booked into the Discovery holiday park. We have a great sized site and plan on being here 2 days as we have booked a super pit mine tour for tomorrow.

Thanks for the updates, it can be time consuming can't it? Look forward to hearing what you think about the super pit. I saw it some years ago from a distance and I was staggered at its size.
I also had a giggle at the photo of the girls 'enjoying' the scenery!
Travel safe.
