On a recent trip to Geraldton, I was looking for another camera bag after I lost the second one in two weeks and a hostess gift for dinner that night – and as luck would have it, not only did the local chemist include a camera shop it also had a Darrell Lea stand. Brilliant.

I took my camera bag and box of hard centres to the counter and I met Kristy.

Kristy’s story

Kristy has lived in Geraldton for about two and a half years. Originally from Adelaide, Kristy and her husband Bruce decided to up sticks and travel around Australia. They bought a four wheel drive and a caravan and signed up as housesitters.

For seven years (seven!) they travelled everywhere. They soon became known as trustworthy sorts and were in high demand – getting repeat business they were lukewarm about taking – it was kind of “been there done that”.

“I loved the adventure of sleeping in someone else’s sheets, in someone else’s bed with someone else’s view… it wasn’t the same if we’d already stayed there.”

They stayed in all sorts of houses, several of them home to millionaires and in between stayed and travelled in their caravan. They couldn’t imagine settling down.

One day, they were travelling to Halls Creek in the North-East Kimberley. Halls Creek was one of the places where gold was discovered for the first time in WA. I think it was second after Ennuin. You can also catch a small plane to fly over Purnululu National Park to see the Bungle Bungles and you might stay here if you want to visit the Wolfe Creek Crater. It’s the town at the northern end of the Canning Stock Route. It’s remote.

Anyway as they travelled along the highway towing their caravan they were caught in a willy willy. For those of you unfamiliar with the term, it’s like a dust devil or whirlwind, a very small tornado.

The caravan was swept up and bashed against an embankment and as it was thrown up so was the four wheel drive.

The truck driver behind them who witnessed it said you could have walked under the caravan it was thrown up so high.

Time seemed to slow as it does in those life-threatening situations, Bruce turned to Kristy and told her that he couldn’t do anything and he was sorry but he thought they were going to die.

The 4WD flipped but the caravan snapped them back and the car crashed to the ground.

The car and the caravan were completely written off. Shattered.

Kristy and Bruce walked free.

The truck driver couldn’t believe it – he was sure they were both going to be dead.

Kristy and Bruce took the loss of their trailer and 4WD as a sign that maybe it was time to settle down and, after briefly checking out Mandurah (why do people live there? asks Kristy) and Perth as too cold, settled in Geraldton to be near their daughter.

Thank you Kristy for telling me your story – it was inspirational.

PS:  I should say in the interest of accuracy that Kristy isn’t actually a chemist,  she does work at the Chemist though.  (If you’re in the US, a chemist is a drug store or pharmacy)
