Denham

A short and uneventful 220km day pushing against wind gusts today. Lunch at an unmarked rest area with the temperature rising to 29 degrees. The roads are getting busier and after talking to the camp manager this area will get really busy next week with WA school holidays starting. By then we will be away from the places where most kids will be. The land today was mainly flat with lots of low scrub which is suited for the coast winds. We kept thinking we would see the sea as we approached the top of each rise. It took quite a few hills before we were rewarded.

Once we arrived in Denham mid afternoon we set up camp then walked into town for a look around. That didn't take long. Denham is a small seaside village with 3 caravan parks and 2 pubs. A small jetty and a gap in the reef for fishing charters. This is a good base for us on the Peron Peninsula for the next 2 days while we discover more seaside attractions. As I write this our caravan is getting rocked with the wind. Nice to not have to tow for a few days and battle the wind.Read more
