Flat Tyre!
Today at 9:30 we left our roadside camp and started on the road.
At 2 o’clock we arrived at Sandstone; the town sandstone, not the rock.
We ended up hanging around Sandstone for about an hour, filling up on fuel, buying a few groceries, checking out interpretive panels and of course going to the visitor information Centre.
Sandstone was a gold rush town that boomed then bust.
It is now a very quiet town, which some travellers stop by at on their way along the highway.
Tonight we are sleeping at Ballard Lake Campground.
51 km out of the town Menzies (shout out to all Menzies!) .
On Lake Ballard there’s 51 metal statues placed all around the lake of people who lived in the town Menzies.
Tonight for sunset, we climbed up this little mountain hill thingy that was in the middle of the salt lake (lake Ballard) and we watch the sun go down.
It was an absolutely stunning sunset.
I truly truly loved it!
Today I have felt a bit sad because I know the trip is coming to an end but I really really don’t want it to come to an end.
I’m really dreading the day when will have to return. Not that I don’t want to return.
I just don’t want it to end. I don’t want the adventure to end.
I want to keep going, keep exploring and having fun.
But we all know trips will end at one point.
You need one trip to end, for the next one to begin.
