Travelled: 100 kms from Coorow to Moora in Western Australia
Visited: Moora
Stayed: Moora RV, free, S30.64220, E116.00813
Budget: days @ $ per day
Our final evening in Coorow came with a storm, very windy for an hour or two then a sudden downpour of rain. Just as quickly it all passed and the remainder of the night was very quiet.
As weโve done Coorow as best we can we make an early start for Moora. Ninety of the one hundred kms to Moora is wheat stubble with three our four gigantic wheat bunkers with the vinyl tops every 30 kms or so.
Grains are big business in the WA wheat belt which reminds me of another one of Newtonโs observations. He told us every property in the district used to run a thousand sheep to help supplement the wheat crop, not any more he explains, sheep are hard work, they need to be tended. Farmers these days like sitting in their big shiny, air-conditioned tractors watching movies while the GPS and laser guidance system drives the tractor.

Arriving in Moora we do a quick lap of the town before turning into the free RV park the good people of Moora have provided. Itโs well located in the middle of town and an easy walk to everything.
Once weโve settle we go exploring.
Passing the Droverโs Inn pictured above we think maybe the local pub for dinner tonight.
We find a memorial to the farmers working horse and dog and some great murals. On our way back to the Jayco we pass St James Anglican Church another lovely stone building.
The late afternoon looks after itself and we go off dinner and drinks at the Drover which proves to be a good choice.
In the morning the ladies at the information centre suggested Carnabyโs Cockatoo Walk is the best way to walk off a big chicken schnitty.
We didnโt see a Cockatoo or anything much else on our walk. Got barked at by some local dogs and got up close to a wheat train with more carriages than you can count. But it was 6 kms and that made Pam happy.
Back in the Jayco we make ready for the road once again setting the GPS for New Norcia.

We enjoyed Moora there is a lovely museum across the RV park New Norcia then to Toodyay and York and Beverley should be nice if you have time.
Safe travels. Johannes
Thanks again for your comments. New Norcia was amazing particularly the guided tour. We stopped at Toodyay for a walk and morning tea yesterday before going on to the free stop on the river in York. Lovely to see a river with water flowing once again.
Hope your both well and enjoying beautiful Esperance.
