Running from the Tain.....

We awake to find a new weather warning, heavy rain, thunderstorms and high wind, a quick decision is made, why hang around here......... And so the day is spent driving to Esperance, 480 kms East, it's our most easterly point apart from the National Parks outside of the town and tomorrows forecast is Thunderstorms.......... It not just us that's fed up with this wet summer the aussie's are definitely not pleased as its coming up to their National Holiday long weekend basically the equivalent to the UK's August Bank Holiday only called Australia Day!  
So booked in for 4 days expecting one day at least to be a damp and a quiet day......
The only good point about the rain is that the locals are hoping it will stop the morons who have been starting bush fires near here, as we drove here we could see miles and miles of burnt bushland that we had heard about earlier when we just missed the other big fire.
Now we have just seen the news and found out that Pemberton where we stayed in the forest and climbed those trees, has been deluged with rain last night and some areas flooded.  We are just keeping in front of any grief weather at the moment, hope it continues...... It should as the forecast for the holiday weekend is Sunny and 35 degrees, we can cope with that.......
Had to laugh at the sign on the inside of the doors in the toilets....... Apparently they have an international week where they have a lot of people from other countries come, some of whom have no idea how to use the loo and more toilet seats get broken in that week than the rest of the year.......
Had a quick look around Esperance and even though it's a Holiday resort, the the best beach in West Australia, it has four restaurants to choose from and one of those is a hotel restaurant, yes it has numerous Chinese restaurants, burger joints, fish and chip cafes and no end of different chicken fast food outlets etc but somewhere nice..... No wonder the locals love their BBQ's.....
