Baladjie Rock and Nature Reserve W A

Easter Saturday was another good day to be out and about. After an early breakfast we packed a picnic lunch, and went looking for Baladjie Rock. It’s in a Nature reserve, most roads are just dirt tracks out here, and it’s not hard to get lost. That we did, driving around on someone’s property. We realized the road into the park was just over the fence, when we came to a dead end. Not a problem, with a little bit of handy work, we had the fence down and out on the right track, in no time. Fence back in order and we drove on into the park.

Putting this next photo up, I can see we didn’t cover our tracks up. Opps!!Found a parking spot in the shade at the base of the rock .

Ok time to get some exercise, before lunch Climbing this one was rougher but somehow easier, as the rocks were very uneven on the way up. 

Think this rock is my favorite. So fortunate that we are able to do this. Will be a special time to look back on when we aren’t able to travel anymore. So many caves and overhanging rocks, you could spend all day around here.

When you reach the top, the views of the salt lakes below are beautiful.

 we also put a rock on the pile as a memoriam to my daughter Jodie.After our climb we really enjoyed our picnic lunch when we returned to the cars. Note how good Olly is, as Steve makes his lunch in front of him.

After lunch we go to see through an old Homestead. More on that later…
