We crossed the border with Western australia (WA) and immediately the clocks went back an hour and a half! So now it would be really hot by 7am and go dark by 5.30pm! The border crossing point is manned as a quarantine inspection station because WA want to keep out cane toads and other pests so any fruit, veggies, plants, meat and honey of all things (bees!) has to be thrown away or they will take it off you!
We pulled in, got out and stood back as Hilda was frisked….yes she got a good going over (by a nice but officious border inspector). We had to unload the tent and other stuff piled in the van, so that the fridge and food storage boxes could be accessed and inspected. Nothing incriminating was found (no apple cores lurking under seats!) so we got on our way and onto Kununurra ( gateway to The Kimberley and the Bungle Bungles).
