Champion Pie

The best meat pie in Australia is baked at the Mt Barker Bakery. That is Mt  Barker WA not SA. The Mt Barker Bakery won multiple awards , including best Meat Pie and Best Gourmet Pie in the Great Australian Pie competition held recently in Melbourne.
We were in the area so we went yesterday, and the pic shows us in the bakery, enjoying their pies and coffee, under the certificates that they won last year. The 2014 certificates are not up yet.
I had a Smokey BBQ Pork pie, Kathy had a Chicken and Vegetable pie. They were magnificent. Mine had big pieces of meat that tasted of pork, was full to the brim with none of those air gaps that some bakers call profit. Kathy's pie had big pieces of chicken and the vegetables were identifiable, not just a veggie paste. Even the coffee was good.
We are in Albany at the Rose Garden Caravan Park at Emu Point. The weather has turned wet with a few days of rain forecast, which puts a bit of a dampener (if you pardon the pun) on our activities. It does mean we can go see things and leave the dogs safely in the car without worrying about them over heating, so it is not all bad.

Going West

The holiday continues. As much as possible on the caravan has been repaired, Kathy's mum is settled again so we are heading west.
We left early Saturday (because we were too late to leave on Friday) met up with Bec and Dave for lunch at Crystal Brook and got to Kimba for the first night. Day 2 saw us at Streaky Bay for lunch, the pic shows the dogs near the jetty, then we called in at Smokey Bay for some oysters. We found an oyster shed open, because they were having a family BBQ, but they opened the shop for us. Oysters were $13 for 2 dozen, but we only had $15. They had no change so they "made up to $15" by chucking in two big hand fulls of oysters. The count up that night at Nundroo showed we had 47 oysters. Have to go there again when the family BBQ is on!
Really strong winds today traveling past the Head of the Bight. We saw a caravan window lying on the side of the road, and when we stopped at a look-out there was a pop top with the roof burst open. The owners were strapping it down with snatch straps. The Supreme has had no problems so far. The Navara is guzzling fuel, but the winds are not helping that either.
First night in WA is at Madura. We did not fill our water tanks when we left as it adds to the weight we drag down the road, but there is no water between Ceduna and Norseman so we have to be careful with the little water we have. Next time we will have full tanks.
