Had a little jobby to do no the van in the morning, the drinking water pump was not running. After putting a meter on the pump it was discovered to have power. A look under the sink showed that the water filter cartridge had come off the housing. Thank goodness that there was a shut off valve on the housing or we would have had 83 litres of water in the cupboards.
After the quick fix and a water top up we said farewell to Sue our hostess in Geraldton.
Heading North from Geraldton we made for Northampton for a look and a toilet dump. Have I ever mentioned the pleasures involved in finding a toilet dump, there is a whole blog post that I may devote completely to to the subject at a later date so let the excitement build in your imaginations and be patient.
We took an inland route and lunched at Nabawa then maintained our South Easterly course. We did pass some spectacular farming country.
This State is definitely feeling the benefits of the Winter rains. The wild flowers that we thought we would miss are showing up now. It is early for them but great for us. Tomorrow we will be looking in earnest around the Mullewa area at the flowers, we have two days to get back to Shoalwater where we will be staying for two weeks so will make the most of it.
Stay tuned for wild flower pics to follow.
