Perth via Darwin Part 11

Day 41 August 28^th 

Our journey here is to Kalbarri about 375k’s. We packed up and left with the sun shining and quite warm so early in the morning. But one can feel the climate changing the further South we go towards Perth and one can feel the wintery sun and breeze especially in the evenings. 

We arrived at our destination and set up camp and then went to explore the wee town in and out of shops buying some more food stuff. We went to the Chainman's lookout which looks out over the Kalbarri bay and the Murchison River.
 

Coming down the hill we decided to go for a swim. This was absolutely divine being Dennis and my first swim in the sea this holiday, great fun and this is where Dennis decided to take his first underwater selfie. What a laugh and the photos turned out priceless!  We went back to camp and had lunch then off to a wee 4x4 track along the river where Dennis was in seventh heaven enjoying the loose sand and bumps and tight turns. We came back to camp and decided to go out for dinner a rather expensive night out but good. We came back to camp and loaded up some photos to FB. Then it was lights out.

Day 42 August 29^th 

It’s the first day that Dennis and I actually slept in and boy was it good. We had breakfast, cleaned
up made lunches and flask of hot water for morning tea. Our tradition of having our good cuppa along our way with a good wholesome THM cookie. We went to the Kalbarrie National Park to see the gorges and the famous “Natures Window” Once again we had to stop and pay entrance fees of $6  for the Parks board and to keep this park up and running for visitors to enjoy. We drove on bitchamun for 12 K’s then sand road for 14K’s. We first went to the West Loop Look out and it was absolutely breath taking. Left there to see the Natures Window and this was a 500m walk down hill to the rocks and what a spectacular sight to see.

Very moving and the visitors all around clicking their cameras hoping for a good shot of this amazing beauty  We climbed over some rocks to have a good view of this natural window where we took heaps of photos. Now the walk back and the heat of the day was starting to get to me as we now have to walk back up this steep mountain. It was worth every muscle ache and fast pulse rate and when itcame to climbing those last steps up which was only 35 it was truly agony to every muscle ache it caused. We then decided after catching our breath a good cuppa tea would be the order of the day. We left there stopping along the side of the road to take photos of wild flowers which seem to be coming out in abundance, we drove to Z bend another look out but I decided it would be too much for me in the heat to walk 750m there and back so gave it a miss. We left the park and stopped off at Meanarra Hill lookout another spectacular sight across the Murchison River mouth and out to sea and the wee town and of cause the surrounding country side of the National Parks. We then stopped off by the beach and had our lunch then decided to go down the West coast to see the Natural Bridge and Castle Cove.

Wow the rock formation of the cliffs is absolutely astounding. One stands looking over the cliffs with the waves hitting the side of the rocks and the colour of the sea this turquoise blue shading itself to a deeper blue colour. Viewing out to the seas we saw a whale blowing and shooting out the water displaying is ability to splash and enjoy himself. By this stage I was getting rather tired and we decided to head back to camp and rest and also phone to see how Chareen was doing. It’s been an awesome day tired but feeling great and now it is time to pack up and tomorrow we leave this wee town to go further west towards Perth. 

Sunset at Kalbarri Beach. A end to a perfect day God has blessed us with.

Day 43 August 30^th 

30^th August. A journey of 366k’s to Cervantes where we will be spending the next two nights. On our trundle down to this part of the world we ventured in and out exploring different coastal towns and their ways of life. We have noticed a dramatic change in climate going town towards Perth

missing the beautiful sunshine and all that it has to offer one. One can feel the cold and extra blankets are taken out from under the bed and one’s jerseys are worn and track pants in the evening are worn. Rather a sad feeling as Dennis and I were so enjoying the heat of the outback and its wonderful evenings and sunsets. We drove through Geraldton took photos of the Port and the Yellow Submarine. Then through Dongara with its enormous crayfish on a boat at the entrance of the wee town. 

We also found a beautiful river outlet called the Erwin Estuary looking over the bay of with bird life in abundance. Passing through Leeman then onto Gregson and finally Jurien where we stopped for lunch at Dobbyn Park looking out at the Port and wee Islands in the distance.  It was not a long drive from here to our destination at Cervantes where we docked our caravan at the Pinnacles Caravan Park right on the beach front. A beautiful 

park for families and a beach to enjoy.  We set up camp and decided to take a drive around the town and ventured out to Lake Thetis to see the Stromatolites walking along a board walk to the water’s edge seeing them submerged in water,. We left here and went into the park on a 4x4 track which ended up on the beach which was quite enjoyable.

We had worked up a thirst and stopped off at the entrance of the caravan park at the Shell Shop for a cuppa. The weather here is changing and clouds are rolling in and maybe a drizzle of rain might be had this evening. Feeling both very tired we retired early.

--oOo--

Day 44 August 31^st  

Its Janes birthday today and we wished her and had a wee chat too. Then phoned Chareen to see if she was doing better, was also glad to hear that the Dr had discharged her.  Life here in the caravan park was quite this morning we have been so used to everyone getting up with the crack of dawn because the beauty of the day begins with bright sunshine at 5.30, now it’s much later and the chill factor of the morning is quite cold and was thinking maybe we should return to the land of sunshine and good tans. We did the washing and had a good wholesome breakfast. Packed morning tea and off to see the Pinnacles which are 17k’s from the caravan park. We arrived at our destination with an entrance to the Nambung National Park paying a seniors fee of $6 how blessed are we.  We were told there is a drive through or we could walk a 1 ½ k walk around. We hopped for the drive. Leaving the entrance it was not long and we saw our first look of these magnificent rock pinnacles all over the dunes.

We just stood in awe at the beauty of what we saw, we drove around the desert hopping in and out of the car to take photos and to just stand quietly and take in this beauty.

Towards the end of this drive we stopped and looked at a Gullah sitting on one of the pinnacles and took photos and when we went to the information centre of the park discovered these magnificent parrots actually have their nests in them and the one that was sitting there was on guard looking after its nest.We ended our visit with a good cuppa tea in the car park.

Leaving this park we ventured into another area not far from here called the Kangaroo lookout where Dennis found a 4x4 track onto the beach and of cause off we went and to his delight it rocked the car from side to side, videos were taken of this stretch of beach laden with sea weed and it’s grass. Eventually leaving this area and back to home base where we relaxed and did some chores around the caravan and of cause catch up with the letter writing. 

A beautiful ray of sunshine, a new day, a day that the Lord hath made so be happy and rejoice in it!

--oOo--

 Day 45 September 1^st  

On the road by 7:30 AM the weather was most pleasant but one can feel the chill factor creeping in and thought we were very brave wearing summer gear. The road was quite busy and one could see

the country side changing the closer one got to Perth the busyness of the people and the bill boards popping up all over the place and everything becoming very commercial. It was a sad feeling though as Dennis and I love the feeling of the outback and the rustic look of places and quaint towns. However life stands still for no one and our holiday days are coming to a close but still have lots to see before then as we trundle back towards Melbourne.

The beauty of the wilds flowers changed from bend to bend and the dominant colour was a ray of sunshine yellow spreading over the country side like a blanket and every now and then a white or pink flower would pop up, and then the next bend would be these huge white sand dunes like rolling hills along the side and not even on the beach but the other side of the road travelling inland looking like white mountains from a distant.  Bird life flying around and managed to see a White Breasted Black Cockatoo, a magnificent bird.  We were getting so wrapped up with this beauty then all of a sudden city lights and noise enveloped us and we knew we were in a another world, a world of hurry up and can’t find the time to breath or say ‘Hi’. City life sure is another world from the outback. 

We decided to drive through Burns beach and see Robert and Janice’s home, a prestige suburb with new mums meeting at café’s and prams and bubs in parks a real yuppie life. We had a cuppa at the beach then headed off to our camp site.

We arrived and set up camp then went to a mall to stock up on groceries. We also went to the South African shop and got some spoil me’s such as Matzo, biltong and some lollies. Yip we’re in the city, what a busy life! Back at the camp and put on the roasts made two for the road managing to get 6 meals out of them. We had dinner and sat chatting to Pearl on Skype then lights out.

--oOo--

Day 46 September 2^nd 

Today is sort of a rest day, we did some housekeeping around the caravan then off to The Caravan Shed to purchase shade cloth for our awning Dennis dropped me off at the mall and he went to say hi to one of his work mates. We had lunch at the mall then came back and rested for the afternoon. Oh yes, Dennis gave dingo (the car) a bath and now it’s looking good for the next leg of our journey

 --oOo--

Day 47 September 3^rd

Today we leave for Margaret River, I must admit glad to be leaving the big smoke of Perth and the business of the city life is just too much for me and Dennis agrees as well. All packed up and left at 7.30 in peak hour traffic, was quite daunting but survived the ordeal and out onto the open road

where we could feel free and smell good clean country air and watch the beautiful country go by.

Our first stop was to see the longest wood pile jetty in the Southern Hemisphere and what an experience it was. We first went up the light house to look at the beauty of the surrounding of the ocean and beach front. Sadly apparently the council want to

break it down and put some modern building there. We bought our tickets here for the train ride onto the jetty which is 1.8k long and at the end of it is an underwater observatory so we also booked a tour to see the fish under the sea there. The train leaves on the hour and while we are on tour it goes back to land to fetch the next lot of people and when it returns and we are finished and can get a hitch back to shore. It was an enjoyable experience and one can only appreciate the distance when you are out to sea on the jetty and truly see the distance from the shore. Before we went on the tour we had lunch which I had prepared that morning.

Back in the car and our next part of the journey is to “The Big Valley Camp Grounds” which is on a working farm, It was absolutely beautiful place and rustic but very clean. I would recommend this stay to anyone.

The smell of campfires in the evening and the sounds of farm animals were just magic. The sunsets and rises were beautiful as well as the darkness of the night being out in the open. A good night’s rest was the order of a day’s journey.

--oOo--

Day 48 September 4^th  

Awoke to a wonderful morning of good clean farm fresh air, with sheep pasturing by our caravan enjoying their morning breakfast. It’s such a blessing to be here today but the best was our morning

shower. Oh to see these ablution blocks on the farm stay, they were good but rather non private, but a good laugh too as you see everyone running to them and the clanging of sheet metal doors and latches echoing across the open fields and then having to shower and knowing there is a stranger next door doing the same thing, then having to stand at a double sink with a man also cleaning his teeth, ummmmm!!! Good fun! The field kitchen is open to everyone and the best is the camp fire in the evening but we choose to sit by our caravan and enjoy the peaceful moment.

Anyway our day’s event was to do the Cape to Cape drive but then decided to start in the middle

and work our way to Cape Naturaliste but first Dennis had to fill up with Diesel. Oh this was a card. Arriving at the petrol pump which I might add was from days gone by and I’m pretty sure today’s generation would stand and look at the pump and wonder what on earth is going on here. Anyway, because Dennis is from that generation, shush don’t tell him I’m telling you that, he knew what to do and got the pump working and went into pay to discover this wonderful shop is also days gone by and made one feel as though you have stepped back in time to the early 1900. We left there and made our way along the coast towards the light house driving in and out of various wee coastal towns. Our first stop was to Prevelly then to Cowaramup Bay and on our way there found “Juniper Road” which ticked Dennis no end. What I found amazing was the fields and the arum lilies they are everywhere and in full bloom. The locals consider them a weed and do not like them!

 We discovered along the way that Dennis had left the petrol cape off and the door that closes the petrol, had a good laugh about it and wrote it down one for the records, We stopped for tea at 11.15 AM then drove on to Dunsborough, bought some rye sour dough rolls for lunch then ended up at the Cape Naturaliste light house where we had lunch. We paid $4 to do a base walk around the light house, very interesting history. Then from here we travelled via Eagle bay then onto Cowaramup town and walked around here enjoying the display of all the fibreglass decorative life size cows displayed around the town. 

Then onto the cheese shop and bought some yummy cheese made by the farmers here in Cowaramup.

As we left this wee town Dennis spotted his name sake in the wine industry so we veered off down the direction towards the Juniper wineries. Much to Dennis’s delight we went in for some wine tasting and bought a bottle with the Juniper name on the label. Feeling excited about the bottle of gold we left for camp base had a bite to eat and retired feeling quite exhausted from the days outing.

--oOo--

Day 49 September 5^th 

It’s time to say good-bye to the sheep and the clanging toilets doors and the sounds of the parrots and when we left the farm Dennis had to dodge the sheep poo but not long after that we ended up dodging cow dung – we came to a halt but this time not stuck in traffic but cow traffic and not hooters blowing but cows mooing.

We drove down to Redgate Beach to Isaacs Rock then from there through the Leeuwin Naturaliste National Park to get to Augusta ending up at Leeuwin Lighthouse the tallest working lighthouse in Australia. My goodness me was it cold here, the chilly winds blowing off the sea but oh so worth the pain of frozen nose and ears, We paid

senior rates to get to walk the base of the light house and was given an audio tape while walking around to listen to the history of the place. The path leading up to the lighthouse with this spectacular view of where the two oceans meat the Indian and Southern ocean. We met Molly on the way with her telescope but not sure where she was supposed to be looking out to but had fun taking photos of this

magnificent creature. We stopped for a cuppa along the way at the Cattle Trail Memorial then passed through two National Parks the Beedelup and Mt Franklin we also stopped off at Pemberton and bought some cream and mayonnaise . We finally arrived at Peaceful Bay Caravan Park set up camp without unhitching and then took a stroll down to the beach and got our tootsies wet for a while.

Until next time.........................................Forget the insults

 

Perth via Darwin Part 10

It has been some time since my last post of our road trip I hope to complete in about two months.

Day 34 August 21^st 

Getting up early was quite a chore, the stillness of the camp and the sun has not come up yet which we are quite use to but the changing of time Zones and going further down towards Perth in WA changes the whole rising of the sun and the setting of the sun and of cause the chill factor that is in the air one needs that wee jacket to tide the chill until the sun is at its full warmth.

We left Marble Bar at about 7:30 AM happily travelling to our next destination being at peace and then all peace was disrupted when we hit the Coogan Gorge going around hairpin bends and climbing when a road train came around one and decided that his side of the road was not good enough and used ours. We ended up on the sand and let me tell you that I am very happy that there was a sandy patch for us to divert our car and caravan otherwise I think we would have looked like pancakes mangled up under this massive engine and it’s 4 trailers! The way he came around the bend he could do nothing but steer his front with the 4 trailers sort of gearing towards us just missing our caravan by a  hair's breadth. It sure was a wakeup call for Dennis and I am pretty sure the driver of the road train. “ASWERED PRAYER” We pray every day for our safe journeys and the cover of His precious blood over my family friends and cars etc. So I give God all the Glory for our safe journeys.

 

We listened to the book of Corinthians to chapter 12. We stopped at a resting area for lunch feeling refreshed and back on the road stopping for fuel was in Port Headland where we also stocked up on fresh produce. An interesting port where on entering the town was massive salt pans, one could see the salt shooting off the conveyer belt. We went to see the port and wondered around there and took some lovely photos of the place. Back on the road to Dampier, heading towards Karratha and then a further 27k’s to Dampier. Arriving at our destination feeling rather tired.

 Dampier has lots to see and one of the main attraction is the “Red Dog Memorial” a true story and a movie that is made from it. We decided not to unhitch and just rest our weary bodies.

  

  

We did take a trundle down to the sea front and admire the ocean and islands from shore but the beauty of this coast line was when darkness fell and the lights lit up of the port and all the ships in bay making it look like stars in the night shinning so brightly and all busy with life on board and on port.  After dinner the camp fell silent and lights slowly one by one went out all tired from their travels and I’m sure a much needed shut eye 

including Dennis and I.

Day 35 August 22^nd . 

After a good night’s rest we left our humble abode in Dampier on a quest to seek the Red Dog memorial. Trying to follow the map which is not quite correct and having to stops and ask some road workers and only to find out if we had turned right and not left we would have seen the

beautiful monument of Red Dog. We took photos and after seeing the movie quite some time ago it was actually an honour to actually come to a memorial of a dog who served well in his life time. A beautiful story and worth going to see the movie “RED DOG”. We also took heaps of photos of the look out over Dampier bay with cargo ships being loaded with iron ore and salt. One could also see the stock pile area for the salt and this is where they load up the salt onto ships. It’s a very pretty bay with swimming, fishing and boating. We left the wee town and off to drop off a catalogue at one of the wholesalers then trundled around Karratha and filled up with diesel then left the town to go to Nanutarra Roadhouse this is where we night stop.

Arriving here about 1 PM set up camp and had our wraps which I made this morning. We then caught up with our washing and ironing and Dennis changed the air filter of the car and checked the general maintenance of the car such as oil and water. We are hoping for an early start tomorrow morning. It has been a pleasant day enjoying the scenery as we drove with mountains changing in shape all the time which kept us amused. The highlight of the day was between two mountains there was a bright red cloud of dust between the mountains giving the sky the magnificent red colour but I'm sure not for those who are working there with that dreadful red dust. But for the tourist it was a beautiful sight to see. The sand in the area is crimson red and rich in minerals.

In the evening after all our chores we decided to treat us to a roadhouse dinner which was just lovely. We sat in the shop watching the workers coming in from the mines and roads sitting down to a wholesome dinner prepared for them by the shop their accommodation is behind this shop too and very well kept. It’s been a long day but and enjoyable one.

It’s hard to believe we have just completed our 5^th week of travelling around the outback and venturing out into the unknown for us and learning a lot about this beautiful land of ours we now call home. We are so blessed with the beauty of this country the freedom we have here and we give thanks to our Lord and Saviour for His blessings.

Day 36 August 23^rd .  

Sun Rise

Exmouth is our destination. We left Nanutarra Roadhouse at 7.20 AM with the morning rather crisp in freshness. Dennis first had to put in fuel and a few photos taken. Gosh the red sand is everywhere even our feet; it just gets into every crevices grrrrrrrrr! It’s been very strange as we have had no communication with the outside world, no TV, no cell phone on both our phones, and no Computer. So I thought while this was happening to take a photo of our life in the OUTBACK.

Now that you know our secret when no communication is at hand, so let me carry on with our life here amongst the red sands of the outback. It’s a life that no one can explain you have to experience it yourself. It’s a hard life but at the same time a life of peace and tranquillity, of beauty that only you will know when you have walked amongst the people who live in this area and serve the public travelling through. The stillness of the night is beyond comprehension when you gaze up at the stars and the heavens are full of them, stars that you never see in the city, the brightness of the moon glows the whole earth full and the wonders of wonders one stands in awe. We must admit truthfully that we love this sort of life of peacefulness and being free. I guess I had better get on with the story otherwise you will never know what we have been up too here is the land of OZ.

We arrived in Exmouth with trying to figure out where on earth is our caravan park only to find out it’s on the west side of the Ningaloo Coast which is about 30 k’s from the town of Exmouth. It’s a beautiful coastline and a paradise for those who are interested in surfing. Once again it’s amongst sand and a palm tree with the bird life is in abundance and sure knows how to serenade one first thing in the morning. 

A good alarm clock when one has to leave at the crack of dawn. We set up  camp and drove back into town to buy a toaster for the gas burner and the reason for this isthat the campsite’s generator cannot handle the demand of all the campers so on arrival we weregiven instructions that no air con, no electric kettle, no electric frying pan and no hair dryers etc.  Rather a bother but once again one has to cope in various environments. On our way in we drove past 13 Radio masts (Towers) which cover the area of 400 hectares, which is 1000 acres) Tower 0 in the centre is 389 metres high. This is higher than the Empire State Building, Eiffel Tower and the Sydney Tower. These masts belong to the military and are used for submarine communications.

We stopped at the Vlamingh Lighthouse which served as a radar post in WWII with evidence of the original sand bags still in place and around this view point which looks over a vast stretch of shore giving the soldiers full view of the shores. This place has an amazing history from this era. Standing watching the sea we were able to see whales in the distance springing out the water and some blowing. We left this viewpoint going down a long stretch of road to the main entrance turning into the stretch of road which runs along the coast line. 

We popped in and out of coastal entrances walking on beaches and gathering shells back in the car and eventually getting to an outlet where there were very high sand dunes which we climbed giving every muscle in our lower extremities a work out, groaning much better until we reached the summit of them only to look over more of them.

Beautiful clean sand with beach flora sprouting all over, up the sides and around the base of the dune. We returned to camp and had a bite to eat and early bed. Another wonderful day comes to a close.

Day 37 August 24^th .

On the road again, leaving Yardie Caravan Park at 7.30  and first stop to put Diesel in the car. 

Felling quite refreshed and also listening to the book of Galatians. We did a detour into Coral Bay, a beautiful bay for family holiday makers. Marine life at its best, we had a cuppa here and paddled in the ocean.  The sea here is the most beautiful shades of blue with white waves in the distant crashing down. It was a well worth detour on our journey towards Carnarvon.

Arriving at Carnarvon and setting up camp then into town and bought some fresh produce. We then drove down HMS Sydney Memorial Avenue. A road displaying memorial plaques of the men who lost their lives in WWII on this battleship.

We then went to One Mile Jetty and had a ride on their train across it. A most enjoyable experience. Came back and relaxed at camp base.

Day 38 August 25^th .

Our next place of destination is Sharks bay. We will be spending 3 nights here. Our journey down was enjoyable. Because of our journeys stopping on a one nightly stay we decided that when we arrive here we will set up camp and rest. We also caught up with washing and going to the shops and just messing around. The best part is being with the door facing the ocean and what a life. I baked a cake and did a roast for dinner which was most enjoyable.

We sat outside for a sundowner watching the sun go down but the wonderful surprise was coming outside to a glass of wine and a wee chiffon bag with a beautiful necklace with a pearl. Greatly blessed. We enjoyed our dinner and it was bed early.

Day 39 August 26^th .

Sharks Bay – Denham.  Early rise as we had to be at Monkey Mia by 7:45 AM for the dolphin feed 

which is about a 30Km drive.  We arrived at the park’s entrance and greeted by the parks board asking for a fee of $6 to enter. It was a beautiful morning with the sun rising in the east glowing over the ocean and there were many spectators wanting to watch the dolphins come near shore for a feed.

There were two rangers in the water giving us instructions walking up and down the waters in front of us explaining the Dolphins habitat and habits a interesting listen. We watched the dolphins gliding into shallow water and they were watching the rangers very carefully as we were all standing

in the waters ankle deep. Eventually the 5 female dolphins were ready to come in and showing off too and when this happened we had to step out the water and there were 5 feeders ready to feed each one and each one of the dolphins knew where to go and waited for their food. Very intelligent creatures and it was such an honour to be there and watch these creatures even though they live in the wild were quite well trained to do what they do.

When this was over we went and had a cuppa tea at the resort then waited for the Pearl farm tour which was at 10.15 on the sail boat called the “Aristocat 2”.

 The journey on the yacht was just lovely and were very fortunate to see dolphins swimming next to the yacht and also surfed with us.

The  company is called “Blue Lagoon Pearls”. What an interesting tour, personally I think everyone who comes down here to do this tour. They also have a shop in town. For further information go onto google and type in Blue Lagoon Pearl farm Denham WA. Au. 

These are black pearls beautiful colours even if they are white they are black pearls because of the oyster they grown in. This company is world renowned.

Next stop was to Shell Beach, it is made up of cockle shells and no sand and the water that surrounds this bay is twice as salty as the ocean. This is another interesting bay well worth a visit. Below is some info on this bay. Dennis waded in the water and he could feel the sting from the strength of the salts on his open wound which he obtained while going out to the pearl farm on the yachts net lookout when he decided to try and get some photos.

 

 It was an absolutely lovely day spent out there with nature and all its wonders.

Day 40 August 27^th .

Today we decided to travel to the Hamilton pools where the Stromatolites are, this being over 100k’s from camp. On our way out the town we decided to first visit the Francois Peron National Park where the Peron homestead is, the park is on the way to Monkey Mia.

We first had to register before entering with an honesty box and a fund required too which was deposited into an envelope. We arrived at the homestead to a warm welcome by one of the volunteers there and started our tour walking around the sheep sheds and eventually ending up at the “Hot Tub” This was an experience getting into this tub the temperature of the water is 40°C and this water has been flowing for over 80 years. 

We first put our feet in and sat awhile then our bottoms and then emerged into the hot water whichis also salty. It was truly a lovely experience but sitting in there for a long period of time would be just too much. Never the less we did sit a wee while then got out to a cold shower which was a rude awakening.

We left there and did a detour stopping off at the Little Lagoon and had a cuppa here and enjoyed the ocean.  From here we went to the Hamilton Pools.  It was a pleasant drive with passing of caravaners travelling to another destination and the odd visitors stopping to look at wild flowers. 

We arrived at the site and it was quite hot but not too bad. It was an easy walk to the boardwalk

going into the ocean for visitors to have a good look at the Stromatolites.  It’s an amazing sight to see and the wonders of nature performing its best. God our creator has truly thought of everything right down to this amazing sight for us.We took heaps of photos and thank goodness that there are those who have studied and compiled up information that is placed on stands explaining the facts and figures of this amazing creature growing in the sea. We are very fortunate to have this information displayed in such a way for us to understand. It was getting very hot out there and it was time for us to leave so we decided to find a tree to be in the shade to have our lunch which I had prepared before leaving.

Time to leave and on our way back we stopped off at the Marine Park where we could see them feed the sharks and was able to see various fish that swim this coast lines.

I got quite a shock at seeing the venomous fish and water snakes that can actually kill you. We left there and back to camp and having to take our washing off the line and me to iron it. Then it was dinner time.

 Until next time..........................Don’t make assumptions.
