KALGOORLIE KINDNESS

We’d really hoped to be on the Nullarbor today – but the 4WD hadn't been quite completed last night. Well, what’s another day?

Paying at Reception, the computer wouldn't accept what the manageress was trying to input for an extra day … in the end she said … it’s saying $15! That will do.

After they rang, we walked the three km down to Abletek, the repairer, to find the account there was considerably less than we’d been anticipating. And at The Coffee Club they recognized my VIP card for the second time, even though it hasn't been renewed: two coffees for the price of one!

Woolworths had a lot of good specials today; then we visited the butcher whom we met at the Baptists last Sunday. What a shop! What a display! What a huge wonderful staff! And they were all working flat-out, trying to serve the shop full of customers. While John talked to owner Steve, the young lass who served me suggested she pack everything flat and Cryovac it, so that it would fit in our freezer better, and last longer as we were travelling over the Nullarbor! Naturally I purchased more than I’d originally intended.

The Jackaroo appears to be running well. It’s been a good morning.  We like Kalgoorlie.
