Jurien Bay {Caravan Park}

After a trip into Hill Springs and an overnight stop at Wooramel, we headed away from Carnarvon and made the trip further south.  

We could easily have made it to Perth but we decided we would take the coast and have a night in Jurien Bay instead.  It was lovely to stretch our legs, watch the sunset while eating fish & chips on the coast.  A perfect night, perfect start to our next adventure.

 

I couldn't help but take a picture of this sign, was a first for one of these.  This was south of Jurien on the Indian Ocean Drive.

To Kalbarri we go

A nice leisurely pack down and a decision to drive to Kalbarri on the coast road meant a stop in Northampton for a quick loo break and a drink.  The service station was right next to a lovely historical building {which I discovered driving past was also the local Catholic school}.  I would have a loved a wander around the building, but alas two small children and a mission meant simple admiration from the outside.

Onto Kalbarri with a drive past Pink Lake {and it really is the biggest & pinkest salt lake that I have ever seen} and a impromptu drive down to Port Gregory for lunch.  What a wonderful spot right on the coast, a true sleepy fishing town.  Down to the Jetty we went where J decided the smalls could have a fish, not that they caught anything but they had a wonderful time nonetheless.

 

 

 

A few stops before we got there to take in the local sites.  It truly is a wonderful looking coast line, all be it a little on the scary side to be standing right on the edge like that.

Onto Kalbarri we head now, perfect time for check in at the Caravan Park and a wonderful way to spend the day.
