Our room for last night...

We were given a room that looked like some one had thrown a wild party in...We had to go for a drive and come back when another room had been cleaned. Good thing we had a torch coz there was no electricity in that room...The outside toilet was out of order and the shower about to crawl away...We had a great laugh and a good time! Friendly staff, really good food and drinks on the house for the inconvenience :-)

Wheat belt and pipe lines on our way to Merredin
