Kalbarri







Dongara is a nice little spot although it rained over night. Spent the day in Geraldton, quite a busy place with big cray fishing port and big grain silos, and HMAS Sydney memorial at the lookout. Onto Kalbarri via Northhampton and Port Gregory with it's pink lake, lots of spectacular lookouts on the way.



Visited parrot breeding centre and dined out with caravan park friends at Finlays shed bbq.(rough but good) Done the Kalbarri NP gorge walks, which was fantastic. Phil visited the doc to have his ears syringed,now Di doesn't have to repeat herself. Onto Hamelin Station Stay for the night, perfect, all brand new. Weather warming up all the time.



Denham next, wow,what a beautiful spot with crystal clear calm water, great foreshore and boat ramp full of trailers.



Explored Peron national park, 120 klms of four wheel driving and camped the night at Cape Peron and got eaten by midges, but managed to catch a whiting for tea. Next day booked into Monkey Mia which was equally as impressive except for the back packers. Didn't get to feed a dolphin but it was still quite an experience. Back to Denham in time to watch bins of fresh giant snapper being unloaded at the wharf.



Decided to go to Steep Point, more four wheel driving, to camp on the beach. Took our photo at the most western point of Aussie and admired the crashing waves up against sheer cliffs. Travelled onto Canarvan dodging the goats, sheep and cattle feeding on the green grass on the way.
