Life on the Road

Here are 10 facts about what it's like to live in a motorhome:

1.   You don't miss work at all
2.   You relax and doodle along chatting with interesting strangers
3.   You meet lots and lots of dogs
4.   It's never boring
5.   Everything in the motorhome smells like the dog
6.   Organic lime air freshener does not work on dog smells
7.   There are lots of amazing people living on the road
8.   You can live with very few "things" (but lots of tools)
9.   You stop caring about TV
10. You can make cups of tea for passersby in the car park

So far the highlights of Esperance are not the stunning national parks or the azure waters - these things pale into insignificance compared to the fact that within one 300 metre stretch of the main road are the caravan supply store, an auto electrician, panel beater, UHF radio shop, gun shop and Bunnings. At this Bunnings - brace yourself - people actually help you, and, amazingly, know where things are. One fellow (you may need to sit down to handle the shock here) actually showed me where something was, then - you'll think I'm making this up - CAME BACK to see if I wanted help carrying anything.

These are the highlights you won't find on the tourist website.

Gotta go - building a new shelving unit. Wild, crazy fun.
