Travel Day. Kalbarri to Cervantes 397km.
"TODAY IS YOUR DAY. ENJOY IT."
This was on the blackboard at the Black Rock Cafe where we got our coffee's on our way out of Kalbarri. It was a good omen. We had a great day.
Girls started the morning off by feeding some hungry pelicans their daily fish for breakfast on the foreshore at 8.45am.
Heading South we had no idea where we were going to stop. We stopped at Port Gregory to look at the Pink Lake, which was not very pink today! Further down the road we stopped at Lynton Station to look at convict ruins. Wow, is all I can say. The history behind this place was amazing. I could have stayed and walked around for ages. I made Pete stop on the way out so I could look at the three lonely graves under a huge ancient tree. He reckons I'm such a ghoul.
We reached Geraldton at 1.15pm and stopped for lunch. It was here we decided to drive on to the Cervantes and so we rang ahead and booked a site. The 'Batavia Coast' was scattered with historical ruins everywhere in grazing land along the road. It was pretty country side. We turned off the Brand Hwy and took the coastal scenic route towards Leeman. We discovered the coastal scenic route was not so scenic. The road was a fair way inland so we really couldn't see a lot of the coast and 'back burning' had been done so we were driving through black charred bushland for a fair bit of the way. Too funny. Not quite what we had in mind.
Juiren Bay 4pm. Arrived at Cervantes 4.20pm.
