We spent the night at the rest area very well. Some guests arrived late and left early. But overall, there was little activity at the rest area and on the adjacent road.
We have breakfast and we will leave around 10 o'clock. Today we want to go to the Stirling Range National Park. Mountains and hiking are on the agenda. The weather gets better as the day goes on. We are happy about the sunshine that we missed in the last two days. What is this? In front of us is a VW bus with a license plate from Styria. This is not the first Austrian vehicle that crosses our path. In Cervantes we met people from Linz who are traveling with their camper. We want to refuel at the Amelup Roadhouse (about 10 kilometers before the national park), but unfortunately it is closed. So we have to turn back. Luckily not the full 50 km to the next marked gas station. After 25 km we discover a self-service gas station at a 'warehouse'. Around 2 pm we arrive at the Stirling Range Retreat campground. We book a place and then continue to Mount Trio.
We are all pretty exhausted from our hiking tour. At the campground we have sliced meat with noodles and then quickly off to bed.
