William, it was Nothing
Having extended our leash as far as it could go, we're hightailing it back to Perth for one last night in the heart and soul of Western Australia.
This morning we explored William Bay, a fantastic natural swimming hole right out of the town Denmark. Astute readers will know that the newest arrival in the Mannen / Kousser clan is christened William, motivating us to stop and explore every street, bay, car park and by-way named William. William Bay has been the highlight thus far. Although the wind was constantly howling (similar to the actual William) it was absoluelty gorgeous. Large granite slopes descending into a protected lagoon. Frank was so enthused about climbing that his left leg slipped and unexpectedly explored one of the tidepools. All was well, but we did spend the next 200 km with a sock hanging out our window, a poor man's tumble dryer.
Our hearty lunch today was eaten at William's woolshed in the town of Williams. The town is known for having the world's fastest sheep shearer and the world's slowest kitchen staff. Tonight we will tear Perth to shreds and head off to Darwin in the morning.
