Day 20 - Thursday 27th Jan - Heading home

Well, a very sad day.  We contemplate staying for longer but know we have to get home and ready for school.  The wind has picked up and the waves are crashing down at the beach, what a different picture it is this morning, it gives us a new appreciation for nature, too dangerous today for any of us to swim or walk on the rocks. We are so glad we found Betty's beach and vow to come back again.

Our leisurely departure is sped up a little when a big motor home comes in and is awaiting our spot.  We drive out at about 12 and it is a beautiful 25C.  Then we head north and inland, planning on going halfway home today.  However, the further north we get, the hotter it gets and when we arrive at Narrogin and in is 40C we decide the comfort of the car is more inviting than sitting in the van all afternoon so we keep going.  At around 6pm we pull into York and the outside temp on the car clicks over to 41C.  I can't believe my eyes!!!!  We head to the York Caravan Park, crank up the air con in the van and I take the kids down the street to find some tea.  Showers are a brief relief from the heat, but we cannot believe the temp change we have experienced in one day.

We decide on an early start the next day.
