Day 100: Albany

Hi All,
Well today is day 100 and we are still in Albany. This morning we went to a couple of lookouts in the city, went to a Flea market (very small), saw Dog Rock...... a rock in the city that looks like a dog ...dah....., and went through the replica of the Amity (the first ship to arrive in WA to commence a settlement).

Wed then did a bit of grocery shopping, did our washing and are spending the rest of the day blogging, reading, etc.

A point of interest about Albany - it is acity of 25,000 people but it does not have one set of traffic lights in the whole city - instead there are ring roads EVERYWHERE! it does seeem to work quite well though.

Tomorrow we leave for Esperance. It's about 500km so we'll take it easy and take two days to get there - we'll probably stop at a free camp site tomorrow night somewhere in gthe middle of nowhere - we are usually not alone - heaps of people do the same.

We may therefore not have a decent phone/Internet signal until Tuesday afternoon. We will probably spend two nights in Esperance before heading to Kalgoorlie where I expect we may spend 3-4 nights before we tackle the Nullabor.
