Day 2: Thu 12 May - Moonie to St. George, 190km, 6-22deg, fine & sunny

It was a real shock to the system when we got up this morning; it was 6deg and made worse by the fact that we hadn't experienced any cool weather back home. The reverse-cycle aircon in the van got a workout. After a nice cooked breakfast we pulled out at 7:50am. The road was great most of the way, fairly flat and straight, with the odd stretch of rocking and rolling. There were lots of roos so went slow when we saw them. There must have been a 100 dead ones in the 190km trip. We didn't stop till St. George where we pulled into the Kamarooka Tourist Park just in time for morning tea. It is a nice small, compact park with immaculate facilities. 

We got the bikes off and went off to explore St. George. There are some nice old buildings, a path along the river, a couple of monuments, but not a great deal else to see. So, after 10km it was back to our mobile home for lunch followed by a nap. Wendy then set up the computer and did some Army work while Greg went and refuelled the truck. Greg then went for a walk around town and did some grocery shopping. 

Whilst Wendy prepared dinner, Greg relaxed with the guitar and a chat with a bloke from Geraldton WA. Dinner was a yummo home cooked meal (salmon and pork chop with smashed orange veggies and steamed greens, washed down with a glass of wine. Day 2 waz good yah!!
