Kal To Cocklebiddy 22/5

We departed Kal for Cocklebiddy early this morning (22/5). We saw something very disturbing for someone of Peanuts age, just as well she was asleep so that she won't be scarred for years to come. Along the roadside between Kalgoorlie and Kambalda,we saw the blatant torture and violence against more than 20 stuffed toys, teddys and dolls as they were tied to tree trunks along the road. It was very disturbing. :(
We then made it to Norseman, as I had worked here about 14 years earlier, I gave Ang the 50¢ tour, not much had really changed, though it does have an ATM now.
Back to the highway, we are now onto Eyre highway, highway number 1. We are to go another 430kms to Cocklebiddy, past Balladonia and Caiguna and includes the longest straight stretch of road in Australia, 146.6kms. It was long and quite boring with no bends.
We have now passed into first time zone change, Central Western +45mins from Perth.

Time for bed, another early start tomorrow and we will do a little 4wd to get to a bird observatory.

Regards,
Mike Gentile
