We slept in and did the laundry. I finished a very short, trashy book that I borrowed from the resort book exchange. Trevor went to visit an auto electrician and obtained a new smart solenoid for the car so that the fridge will work independently of the second battery (it was playing up a bit on the way over)

We met some of the other guests who are staying here and drank some free wine at the same time. One of them owns a 1/4 of a motor home (they use it for 3 months each year) which is a good concept if you enjoy a motor home kind of life.
We walked on the Mandurah beach and enjoyed the local area a bit, watching the little kids playing on the beach doing the simple things that little kids do while their mum watched from further up on the sand.
We tried out the local kebab shop-pretty impressive. They make their own delicious Turkish bread.
We found out about a 4WD track (Captain Fawcett track) which goes from Marradong to near Dwellingup. It commemorates an early pioneer Captain Theo Fawcett, who blazed some of the early roads in the area, and follows a historic route. We think it sounds interesting and might tackle the 90km or so of that tomorrow morning if we feel so inclined. Apparently it is largely through Jarrah forest-which sounds rather pleasant.
Now I'm sitting watching the sunset tint the sky pink, and deciding whether to make a cup of tea or just read my book some more before I go and cook a barbecue for tea.
