On the road to Geraldton

Hi everyone, just a quick blog.  We left Kalbarri this morning & had a relatively quick trip down to Geraldton, although it is very windy & the van moved a bit on the road.  No real problems though.  Below are some photos of the convict ruins at Lynton, near Port Gregory.  This settlement was doomed to failure & closed after 3 years.

Roadside stop near Northampton.  The country side has changed from dry bushy scrub to wheatfields & rolling hills, & finally some decent looking trees instead of little stumpy things.

A PISSED GRAEME

There is a great story behind this photo!  At 9.30 this morning we were pulled over at a breathalyser stop (they were stopping all southbound traffic) As I took this photo I asked the police woman if they had caught anyone yet. She  took a look at Grae's reading & then said,  " We have now" The reading was way above the limit, about 1.51. She asked Grae if he had been drinking- he had had ONE can of beer last night.- then we realised about 30 seconds before we were pulled over he had used a spray breath freshener. We then had to pull off the road & wait 5 minutes to be re-tested.  During this time Grae was frantically washing his mouth out with soft drink, & I was returning the dirty looks other drivers were giving us!  When he was re-tested he was a zero reading.  The police woman was really nice & apologised for giving us a fright ( she had no idea how much!)
