<pre class="western"> March, Wooramel RiverWooramel River RetreatCost $40 per nightRated by us 5/10Mileage 15732 travelled 208kmStill tired from yesterday and with only a few hundred ks to do today we took out time getting ready to go. It was hot and I was suffering by the time we had finished maybe we need ton get up earlier when we have been somewhere for a few days and pack up, in the cooler weather.The road reflects the holidays have started with lines of caravans on the road , heading for Denham, Coral Bay and Exmouth for Easter, hopefully heading as we head further north we will out drive them.We pulled off at Wooramel River Retreat to experience the hot artesian springs.There are three tubs in the shade of the trees near the cafe which serves diner and coffee.We set up camp under a beautiful spreading gum tree on the side of the upside down dry Wooramel River. Thank goodness we got here early we sat and watched in horror as caravan, trailer tent and cars flowed into camp all afternoon.We managed to get a cool shower and we have toilets but we gave up in the hot baths due to the large number of people crowding them out.Looks like school holidays could be trying, already we have had a head on crash in Chittering and the holidays have only just started.</pre>
