New Norcia to Cervantes

I let Blue and Tilly have five minutes off their leads on the oval, but had to stop Blue playing with her because she rolled over on to her back on the wet grass.

I walked to the New Norcia Roadhouse for a decent coffee from the Salvado Roadhouse Cafe. This photo on display at the cafe shows Bishop Rosendo Salvado with other monks. Salvado was the driving force behind the growth of the monastic town for over 50 years.

I then visited the Museum and Art Gallery. Most of the items on display had a religious theme, but plenty of paintings and donated items did not, such as this 17th century clock,

We decided to stay on minor sealed roads and not drive the coastal route to Cervantes. We paused outside the Emu Downs Satellite Farm to photograph wildflowers, and drove past the nearby Emu Downs Wind Farm.

We are staying at the RAC Cervantes Holiday Park for four nights to catch up on washing, minor chores, and to hopefully enjoy food from the Lobster Shack.
