The West Coast So Far

Ok Guys...First Blog of The Trip..

We left Darryl & Donna's on Sunday Morning and heaqded out to Moora to see Shane & Michelle before we left. We interrupted their Speedway Car Modifying and had a coffee with them before we left and had our first long drive in Bernarbara. She Did well...
We drove to Geraldton where we camped in a seafront Camper Park. It was very windy but a warm wind so we didn't mind. We went to have a look around the town before having our last spout of Luxury for a few days and sat in the cinema to watch Toy Story 3. We Love Spanish Buzz Lightyear!!! On our Way back from the cinema we got pulled over for a Random Breath Test, very nervous I blew into the machine gave him my Drivers License and the Policeman went back to his car to do his checks, he came back and Said 'Thanks Dave' Hahaha!!! We got out of there quickly...
It rained all night, the window leaks on Bernarbara so no we know. And in the morning we went and had our breakfast of Oranges, Yoghurt and Honey by the Point Moore Lighthouse, before we got blown away and rained on.

Geraldton is a very small and quite old town. We had a certain number of things to do before heading off. I left the girls to do their things in the shops and post office while I went and searched for a beard trimmer, Didn't get one and a place to get a stereo and fit it into the car. Mission Succesfull...My man rectified my mistakes asking who did this and that. Frenchy I said..I Didn't touch it...He even took the door facade off and fixed our faulty speaker in the door. It was a good day.

So we drove to Kalbarri Next, a big spot on the Tourist trail and the last stop for the Trans WA. The Western Australia Bus service for Perth. So we know that Kalbarri is the point of no return after Perth.

Coming into Kalbarri is stunning, you feel as though you can see home from the cliff edges and the Cliffs give the view a magestical touch. We wanted to see the sunset on our first night but it was too coudy. We did see it poke up a little but decided that it might be better to see it on a clearer night. The next morning we watched the pelican feeding in our pyjamas along with about 50 other people. Not in their Pyjamas. The whole pelican feeding thing started when in 1974 a guy who owned a restaurant used to take his scraps to the same area on the beach front, the Pelicans got so used to it that they kept coming back. And to this day they still do leaving behind the legacy.

We decided to hit some of the national park which included a spot we stopped and viewed on our way in. We did the rounds, walks and saw some epic coastline, we stopped for tea biscuits and Olives at nearly the last one and decided not to proceed. In other words we were tired. It's a hard life..

And now we are at our second ever WWOOF-ing place. Murchison House Station. A cattle station that covers around 3500 square klm's. Only a small place..hehe

The station is for another blog as I'm sure you'r tired of reading this now.
Thankyou & Goodnight :)
