On next morning I found a family on Caravan Park. They have 3 bicycles and I share with them 2 tubes. I need to rid of most of my stuff. I put my dirty clothes in rubbish. Some pieces put inside dirty tent. I have unpacked nuts and bottle of water. I gave it to couple on bikes. They travel to East.

Bus departures from BP gas station. I have a plenty of time to dismantle bike and pack it in bag.

I met with a problem – left pedal stucked, so I couldn’t to remove it. I asked WD-40 from guy on car. He shares it with me, but no results. So I put both wheels from one side of frame. I have washed hands because it always dirty after packing. I left matt, blanket and sun-protection cream on table closer to station. I hope it could be useful for someone. As for me I have no space to keep it.

I bought 1,5 kg of grapes. It was my dream for last 10 days.

Just I finished a packing a bus has arrived. I have my seat and rode to Kalgoorlie. All way I ate grapes and nuts. This ride took 2 hours only.

Bus arrived on Railway station, just in old center of city Kalgoorlie. There is a Railway hotel across the square, so I stayed there. 135 AUD and breakfast included.

I washed myself and went to see city. I need to change my foot and bough new jeans.

There is only one sport store here with limited choice of New Balance sneakers. But I found one good model and my size. Actually I have size 9 and Australia use American standard of size. I also bought socks and dropped my old lucky Puma’s in rubbish.

It’s sad to leave it here. But it smells as hell and no chances to clean up.

I bought new pair of jeans – 33 AUD and some vegetables to eat.

There is a boiler in room so I could drink so much as want.

The only one thing I have to do – is to find a place to stay in Sydney for two nights.

There is computer on reception, but at first I tried to find Sergey. Old friend from Vladivostok. But I haven’t seen him for 10 years. His sister Ira sent me a contact phone. I left a message and Sergey re-call me immediately. He said he will be glad to host me and show Sydney. He asked why I only for one day in Sydney and where I’ve been all these time.
