Day: 17 June 2019

Chris has decided to try out his culinary skills, which is great, bacon and eggs or pancakes for breakfast is fine by me. Going further North today, around the Geraldton area, the showers are still persisting. Typical coastal weather, but we just have to have a look to see what has changed since we were here 10 years ago, and on a time limit.

The Pinnacles have been made more touristy, as have most places. They say there is over 10,000 of them, and we enjoyed a stroll around around the now set out walking tracks.

You can still wander off the track, but they ask you not to climb on them. Fair enough, but some overseas tourists just don’t adhere to most of the advice their told .

Separation Point was cold and windy, a couple of photos and we were out of there, Didn’t bother going around to the lighthouse.

Geraldton is very populated now, and a clean and tidy place, with a newly built jetty and lookout over the harbour.

A quick look around Port Gregory area and Northampton , where they have brightly painted sheep around the streets.

A couple of old early settlers buildings.just out of Port Gregory

Then a stop at the Pink Lake, just out of Kalbarri.

That’s it for now, off to listen to a bush poet, around the camp fire. Kalbarri National Park next post.

Hi again, it’s rather hard keeping up with the blog as we have had very little service over the last 2 weeks. We are really enjoying being on the road again. the first week we headed towards Perth, Chris had plans of getting another metal detector ! The closer we got to the coast the colder it became and a few days we had rain, well I called it showers, as it wasnt enough to stop us from doing anything. Small towns can be quite interesting.

We sayed just out of Toodyay, in a bush reserve rather than on the coast, a sheltered spot. Next day into Perth to get the metal detector. Had a hold of a nice gold nugget, that some fortunate bloke found the day before. Hmmmm,!! Also caught up with Dianne, my ex sister in-law.

We passed solar farms and a few wind farms as we got closer to Jurien Bay, on the coast.

Camp near Bindoon,with a seat full of books.

Ok so the showers were rather persistent for the next few days, but we camped at Lake Indoon and loved it. Bush walks, lots of bird life and a nice sheltered spot.

The day in Jurien Bay, was wet, windy, cold, and rough seas.

Hope this post will load , photos of the Pinnacles to put up next.

It’s lights out for now.
