Day 8 - Talia to Kiana Park
A lovely slow day. Woke late, but Neill had the fire going (because, finally the wind had died down overnight - but never fear, it hasn't completely gone) so we could have a fry up and enjoy bacon, eggs, hash browns, baked beans in front of the fire. The sun was shining, there was next to no wind and the fire was cheery and warm. We really didn't even think about leaving until after elevenses.
Getting out took a bit of negotiating and we may have some new pin stripes on the caravan but that was all OK, and then we had to contend with the last two kilometres of corrugations before we made it back to the highway. Then it was smooth, easy driving until lunchtime, where we stopped at this beautiful beach in the small town of Elliston.
Another 80km down the road and we turned off into this farm, called Kiana Park. In true agritourism fashon, they have created an RV park within the farm and it is beautifully done. Grassy sites, separated and protected from the wind by stands of trees, a communal fire pit with firewood provided - and we were the only ones here! Not even the owners are home! We got ourselves set up, enjoyed afternoon tea in the sun, and even had time to read and relax. I was on dinner duty but the corned beef was cooking in the DreamPot so there was no hurry for the vegies. The wind had picked up a bit by late afternoon but we got the fire going and made ourseves comfy. Dinner was delicious, the fire was roaring thanks to the supplied firewood (look Andrew, even a foot stool for me!) and we had a great night in front of it with music playing from the Sunland external speakers.
