Flag of Australia  , Western Australia,

During the night it started to rain - and it flogged down.  When we woke up this morning it was black and it stayed that way all day.  So we had one day of sunshine and then it was raining again.  So we decided to drive, and drive (WA is massive!) and drive until we came to this amazing town - Greenough.  It was closed (you couldnt drive through and you had to walk it) and there were only a few buildings left.  The town was deserted in the 1800's due to floods and a reduction in the prices of agriculture and the buildings have now been taken over by the National Trust.  It was interesting to see how they lived.

We were going to Geraldton next and we drove through it - it didnt look that great (sorry Geraldton) so we decided to continue driving and we stopped at Kalbarri - there is a National Park here with gorges and rivers and beaches.  The weather is not that great but supposed to get better tomorrow and we think we will stay here for 2 nites.  Even though the weather is not that great its not cold so we have the door open. 

We have also met our 2nd rude person, they are here at the park and the guy has his own solar lights outside of his caravan and is flying a massive Australian flag.  The guy is a toss (John asked him how he was and he just stared at him so John answered good for him, and he still didnt respond - maybe he is deaf?) - but its amazing that we have only come across 2 rude people when we have spoken to 100s.
