Hello everyone
We're moving along slowly (and thats the best way) and now in Kalbarri. We decided to stay 5 nights as the camp offers one free also free wifi so been great to skype grandkids, emails etc.
Since leaving Carnavon we spent two nights at Quobba point which has a settlement of Humpys (bach or crib to us) made from corrugated iron and often old caravans, these are pretty run down but some are still used. Abit of an eye sore but interesting inthat it shows the interest in fishing that went on there before it became a sanctuary. Amaizing though is the Blow holes just up the road, water spout 30 to 40 metres in the air. We then moved on and spent a couple nights at Gladstone. An old port for out loading wool etc now abbandoned. Boy, was it windy overnight and got our first rain nearly closed the road. We now now what W.A. stands for, who thought Western Australia , WRONG "Windy Always" We then moved to Hamelin Station, still a working station 500,000 acres mainly sheep, beautifull camp with alot of new buildings. Went up to Denham and over to Monkey Mia and saw the Dolphins. Really gone commercial since we were there in 1999. As I said we're in Kalbarri, a seaside town next to a

National Park. Great town, touristy but not to badly populated since school holidays over. The wind drops in the morning so we race out to see the attactions at the National Park and down the coastal road and then laze about in the afternoon maybe by a pool and then have happy hour with people we have met on the way, Great life for some 'aye'
