Spent a freezing night at Gingin. Heading for Merredin today where we broke down in the Fairlane 14 years ago. We were lucky then we had the most awarded Ford mechanic in Australia to work on the car, never did a thing wrong after that.
Merredin is in the heart of the Wheat belt and there were fields of wheat all around us. While we were in the park the Gahn went past, so Gerald was happy. We took a tour on a bus that takes you all round Merredin and the driver was most enthused about his town and had lots of stories. The town trains pilots for Air China, and every building has to manage the rain water that comes off their roof as Merredin only gets 12 inches a year and tries not to draw from the Kalgoorlie pipeline. It was an excellent tour and would recommend it to anyone it goes 9 months a year leaving from the caravan park or will pick up in town at about 4.30 pm, you do get to see a sunset.
