Day 1 - Lake Nallan

Well, we had a very smooth departure leaving at 8:30 which we were pretty happy with.  Mixed emotions knowing we were leaving for so long, very scary.  However, great to be on the road and not have anything else we can possibly do.  Crops are looking great as we drive out so a load off our mind.  First 100km I spent trying to think what we had forgotten, but can't think of anything major which is good.   Stopped at Paynes Find for lunch and a stretch.  Next stop was Mt Magnet where the kids had a play on the playground and quickly made friends with one of the locals "Bobby".....quite a card!!!  And finally we found the beautiful Lake Nallan.  The lake was very full so road access was a little difficult, however, the parking bay was well hidden and it had a great little area for a barbi so we decided to camp there the night and not even unhook.  Not much wood around, but Glen headed across the road so we ended up with a roaring fire at the end of the night.  A nice couple from Perth also camped next to us.  They have just come down from Broome so interesting to talk to them about their travels.  So 489km under our belt and another big day tomorrow.
