'T' Day

Up before the sun and return to shark nursery in hope to get better/underwater photo but Stupid Steve did not think and 'Mr Know it all' did not mention, at 5.30am it's low tide and there is not a drop of water in the nursery.........
Therefore only thing to do is get someone else out of bed and hit the road, one of us was not altogether impressed with that idea........
We hit the road before 9am with a 535kms drive ahead of us, we have now mastered driving Oz style, get up to 100kph put it in cruise and keeping going straight ahead, we Travel 535kms and only do 1 x right Turn and 2 x left Turns all day, and that was in the first 13kms........
As we drive the first 200kms  awaiting the landscape to change, I say "I spy with my little eye, something beginning with T".  Possibly 20 minutes/30kms later, She actually sees one of what I had seen and shouts out "Tree" and so that game came to an end with me losing once again.........
I then get to play with or rather they get to play with me....... 
They being mini Twisters......  As we drive along you can see them forming on the flat barren landscape, picking up the red earth / dust and spinning towards us, most missed but some caught us and if they came from the front it was like hitting a giant wet sponge but if they came from the rear you felt yourself suddenly being accelerated and forced forward at a greater speed than you were doing.........
We pass hundreds of Termite mounds, all of which must be between 5-6ft tall and 3-4ft wide but do not see another living thing for the whole journey, well non human thing, now that brings me onto our final T, it stands for 'Terror'.........
Can you imagine someone aged late 20's wanting to work in a Cafe/Petrol station that is 270kms from the next living sole........ Well we break the journey up to get diesel and a coffee, so stop and enter a roadhouse as they call it, having filled up with diesel prior to entering.  As we step through the door, we immediately notice there are no other customers, in fact where are the staff........ When from under the counter up pops a guy in his late 20's who as soon as I saw him, I thought of Jack Nicholson, in 'The Shining'  after paying for my coffee we sat down, when he approached from behind and said "Here's Coffee" at which my incontinence problem was immediately cured..........

We have now made it to Karratha in the North West where hopefully someone will allow me to put my feet up whilst she makes a nice cup of T.
