Jonkers hit Tompers!

ade says hi to everyone.
Ahem, and on with the post...

The Tropic of Capricorn marks the most southerly latitude at which the sun can appear directly overhead. We were in Nanutarra roadhouse, just above the T of C not long after midday and it was a scalding 44 degrees.

Yesterday, late afternoon we arrived in Tom Price. It had rained heavily so there were a few water crossings to navigate on the way in.  We picked up house keys at the hospital and went to visit 3 Ingerup Place only to discover that it was still in the process of being renovated and cleaned!! So we find ourselves in a chalet at the Tom Price Tourist Park (which has a pool, to the delight of the girls). Not sure how long we'll be here, our furniture is in one room of the house and Max the cat arrives tomorrow so I hope it won't be an extended stay...

First impressions of the town are all positive though: friendly and helpful nurses at the hospital; LOADS of sporting clubs and facilities (F & E want to join the pony club); well stocked Coles (I'll get my shopping fix any which way); tidy and pretty streets and open spaces; a heap of 4wd opportunities. Will take some pics in the next few days.

Missing all our buddies but confident that we'll be able to settle in and enjoy TP xx

Made it!
