I can't help feeling some towns don't help themselves when it comes to tourists. In Eneabba we stopped at the service station to use the conveniences. When we stop we usually grab a bite to eat, a drink and often petrol which often amounts to around $100. A sign pointed us to the public conveniences across the road which we used and then drove on. I can't help feeling this was a missed opportunity for the business. We decided we'd lunch in New Norcia and check out the town others had mentioned to us. To our surprise we could not find eating facilities. By not having basic eating facilities to slow us down, to relax and read about New Norcia, the result is we again decided to move on. If you go this way stop at Moora first as it is a sizeable town.
The best part of this section of the trip for me was the unexpected antenna dish just outside of New Norcia. I'd not seen a dish like this before so we stopped for a photo opportunity. I also kept a reference to the location.
To my pleasant surprise, when I later looked up the location there was a picture labelled antenna ESA which was the antenna we'd seen. A bit of searching on the internet and it turns out this is an antenna for the European Space Agency.
The following is a link to the page I found which has a little more information on the antenna.
It is always interesting to me to see why people use a businesses and what causes people to drive on. Often the best market research is ourselves.
