30th August 2014
Bright and early start this morning beginning with a big stock up in Coles as soon as they opened at 8:00. The caravan and car took up 4 spaces in the car park so we wanted to shoot through ASAP.
Our first stop was New Norcia, which is Australia's only monastic town. However the rain was just as bad here so we only stayed for a cup of tea and to purchase a loaf of bread which the monks bake on site using flour they grind in their own mill; and very nice it was too. I want to take photos of the wonderful Spanish influenced architecture so we are hoping for better weather on the drive south when we will pass through the settlement again.

| Camp set up at Moora |
We pushed on north and did eventually get out of the rain at Moora. A bit grey but some blue sky. We are staying in the Council run camp site which is very good and it has free washing machines and dryers! This is a rarity and an excellent opportunity to wash and dry the soggy towels from soaking up yesterday's floods. John has now covered the offending vent with duct tape which hopefully will suffice until a more permanent gutter can be fashioned.

| Everlastings in Moora |
We had a bit of a wander around town, which is not very exciting so we will only stay one night. Found some everlastings, but not in the wild, they were in a garden. Hope to see the real wildflowers tomorrow.
