Mindarie again

After visiting the Mint we headed home along the coastal route and stopped at the Mindarie Marina for a cider, chips and chorizo and a bit of a joke session. Back home for a delicious roast dinner followed by soft chewy Japanese chocolate.

Still no sunset!

Todd shows us some of his nuggets  and his small pinpointer and large metal detectors.

We can highly recommend the accommodation here. Because of the curved building many of the units have been specially made as in our curved toilet!

And very comfortable sleeping quarters!

With beautiful views to the North....

and the West

I wondered if it was the fact that Todd was so recently back from Malaysia that we had spicy noodles for breakfast with our eggs - but later found our hotel in Perth offered the same.

Farewell pose.

Then we set off to the Mindarie Rental company to collect our little car  - A Hyundai I20. We set our GPS and headed off to Northam. Aussies change  their speed zones as often as they change their Prime Minister and the GPS rings a bell every time the zone changes or you are over the speed limit (often)

The Rental Car. Barkers Hill Pie shop had a vast ride of motorcyclists having their lunch so we had soup and toast at the bar next door.

It was plane sailing until we got to Northam, but we soon found our rather oldfashioned hotel, and familiarsed ourselves with the route to the airfield. Northam is basically closed for Sunday.We had dinner at the hotel which allows me to study the local Northam-ites. Young ones a bit bogan, older ones quite old fashioned.
