We had a wet pack up today as it decided to rain most of the night again. Sara and I awoke to mum and dad having already packed their van due to a lull in the weather. We began the process of packing up our site as well, in the rain, before heading off. I have to say, this caravan park had the worst speed humps i have found yet in a caravan park, even the car, unburdened by the van, scraped going over these. Why do they put speed humps into a caravan park???
Anyways, our first destination today was New Norcia, a Monastery outside Perth. We did not have much of a look around as we missed the tour time but we did manage to snap up some great fresh bread that they make. Most of this was consumed in their car park for our lunch 
With this done we began the trip to Geraldton. This began with a great trip through some quiet farmland with no other traffic, they were back roads. Once we hit the freeway however we got stuck behind a series of 4 wide load trucks, two with machines and two with portable homes. the portable homes were all over the road and we could not pass them until we encountered an overtaking lane, over 1 hour later. Even with the extra lane i spent a fair amount of the time on the wrong side of the road getting past.
We arrived in Geraldton around 5pm and went straight to the beach before the sun set. Tomorrow we head off to Denham after visiting the HMAS Sydney memorial. We are nearly at the half way mark in our trip. The trip has so far seen us drive 4500km.
