Today we continued on our journey into the middle of nowhere, because Kelly is adamant about seeing "Wave Rock". A giant rock in the middle of nowhere in WA, shaped like a wave. There's nothing in the vicinity, just a couple of caravan parks, and a tiny town with a population of about 100. the road is straight, the scenery is unendingly vast (burnt)bushland, and the sun is shining - obviously, because we're in the car all day! This is when we start to wonder if you can get a tan THROUGH the windshield - Kelly is testing this theory by draping her legs over the dashboard...
We stopped at the ManyPeaks store - in the town of ManyPeaks... despite the minor spelling aberration, I felt as though this was meant to be!
All jokes aside, the wave rock was impressive - I pretended to surf it until I started precariously sliding down the rock face. That's me sitting on it at the right wearing my trusty cowboy hat! We continued on to a tiny town called Hyden because neither of us wanted to drive in pitch black on the country roads. It had one motel, and we had the last room. The only restaurant had a dubious "cook your own BBQ" thing going, so we opted for buy snacks at the one-and-only-supermarket-and-watch-Australian-Big-Brother-on-TV-all-evening instead. Its amazing how addicted you can get to trashy TV having not missed it at all for the last 3 months... :)
