Yesterday we discovered the jockey wheel on the caravan was about to pack it in. Although the local stores in Kalbarri have the standard 150m wheel in stock, the 200mm wheel that I need wasn't so easy to come by and we had to find a well stocked caravan dealer - the next large caravan dealer along our track will be in Darwin.So today was a good opportunity for a quick 320km round trip to Geraldton where we got a new jockey wheel and some other supplies as well. We also checked out the wharf where a lot of grain and ore leave our shores.
Back in Kalbarri, we went to the Jetty to try our luck at fishing but found instead that a commercial fishing vessel was there unloading its cargo. A quick chat with the skipper and walked away with 3 fresh fish of the "Pink Snapper" variety for just $20. Back at the caravan park I filleted the fish and we cooked less than half for dinner - what a beautiful eating fish, the meat just melts in the mouth, and there's more left for tomorrow's dinner.
Tomorrow we'll have a real rest day. Alexander has come down with the flue last night and I have also got the flue (not the swine variety!) so I think a rest day and some fishing will do us good.
