Fraser Range Station
We made it to Norseman by about 11.15 a.m. First we fed the Winnie her daily diesel. Then we went shopping at the IGA. Then we drove out to the first parking spot beyond Norseman for our lunch and rest.
Then we drove here to the Fraser Range Station. In 2015 when we were passing through it happened twice that staying here just did not fit in with our schedule. So, this time we are making up for it by booking in for two nights. We are feeling like we need a rest day. There are some walks that we can take and we are really feeling in need of exercise and having a chance to enjoy the Great Western Woodlands landscape. Except that we are on a working station, and the area has been cleared. There is the promise of woodlands when we take a walk.
The station has been here for a long time, as some of the building show. We have power and fresh water, and at $30 per night that feels pretty good. Of course, they have to compete with a couple of excellent 24hr stopping places within 25 kms. One has a view of the salt lakes. They offer cooked two course meals for $30 each, plus tours in a vehicle which cost $40 per person. Our plan is to eat in the van and take free walks!

Hi Susan and Stephen. I saw mum on Sunday and she was pleased to see. We went to the smoking area for a while then we back to her dining room for her lunch. I drove up to visit Tracey and Mel and I had a cuppa with them and tried to sort some problems with Mum’s things. Home again I got ready for work on Monday, 1300-2100 which was long but he informative. Today we studied Body Systems and I took some photos of the park at DSC during lunch break.
Take care and I enjoyed reading of your travels so far and the lovely photos.
