As you may have notice we've missed a day as we've been off the grid, our itinerary took a slight detour from the coastal route planned and we are in the Western Australia outback!
Our first day was a LOT of driving, we got up early in the morning loaded the last few bits into the van & drove to go collect our caravan. It is huge & has so much storage it's unbelievable!
We stopped for the evening after over 7 hours of driving and 406 miles in the town (if you can call it that) called Cue. It was very cute and super deserted. We set up our camper for the night and wondered down to the local pub for a drink to check it out. The girl behind the bar was British and lived in Kent. In the middle of bloody nowhere we find someone who lives within an hour of us what are the chances! Deb and Ian chose the songs on the juke box and we played some pool with a cider. The sunset we could see out of the door was just amazing! Dinner we had some nachos cooked in the caravan successfully! After a long day we all headed for bed early ready for the next day's drive!
Friday 18th
Sadly our neighbours didn't realise that we liked our sleep and didn't work in the mines. They crashed around at silly O'clock and by 5:30 we had all given up so started getting ready for the day ahead. We had another long drive planned 8 1/2 hours and 504 miles by googles standards.
We set off early at 7 so we could stop for lunch. We stopped in *insert town name* which was the biggest town on our journey as it was the only one with a supermarket! There was also a giant mining truck which we couldn't resist going to have a look at, it was bloody huge! *insert photos of trucks*
After this we headed for dales gorge karijini national park. It was another long drive with the ever same scenery of rocks, red dirt and bush. We were very excited for this one as there were watering holes and waterfalls you could swim in. Being that it was 34 degrees outside this was a welcome break and we all got in no problem!

After this another jaunt from the national park to Tom Price where we spent the night ready for our next exciting adventure tomorrow but we'll keep you waiting to find out what that is!
*side note*
It has been bought to our attention our photos don't seem to be loading on the blog, I can only assume that this is because we are updating from iPhone with bad service so I do apologise and when we get real wifi back on the coast hopefully we'll get those updated, once we get those added we'll let you know :)
Much love to everyone reading!
Myles & Laura
