Because we couldn’t have Emu burgers last night we went to the local pub, fish & prawns great, only thing was I had to endure Aussie Rules semi final, what a stupid game!!! And to add ‘insult to injury’ Jeanette tried to kill me today, she took me to the Kalbarri National Park to show me Nature’s Window which was stunning, overlooking the Murchison River. I then had to do a 3.8Km walk down to the river for lunch over rocks, large boulders, ladders and narrow ravines, man are my legs like jelly and she just tells me we are doing a 9km walk tomorrow.
Whew!!
Before we left this morning we went across to the beach were the pelicans get fed, locals have been doing this for 40 years. We were lucky today because apart from the pelicans we saw a kangaroo (yawn yawn) then a Thorny Devil, a weird looking reptile. When we arrived home for a well deserved wine we had a long tailed lizard on our deck.
Steak on the barbie and then I had to endure the other semi Aussie Rules, even worse than last night. Hopefully I survive tomorrow to write another blog.!!!!Read more

Forgot to say, we nearly had Emu burgers yesterday. Driving out of the park two Emus were running along side of us and were about to cross the road when a car passed us so they took off down the bank, too fast for us to take photos. Then we saw an Echidna crossing the road, could have had nibbles!!🤣🤣Read more

Dongara to Kalbarri
September 5, 2019 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C
Sad to leave our villa this morning but WOW our accommodation tonight is something else. Called into Geraldton, a rather large but beautiful town. Tauranga could take some waterfront lessons!!! Visited the small beach resort of Horrocks, so nice then lunch by the water at Port Gregory. Pink Lakes came next, incredible, photos don’t do it justice. Then on to Lucky Beach, like a DOC reserve, eco friendly but not the roads of sand and dirt🥴🥴Saw a ‘blue tongued lizard on the road🦎. Arrived at our accommodation in Kalbarri and again WOW, across the road from the beach and sheer luxury. Even a complimentary bottle of wine
which we are enjoying now.Read more

Wildflowers
September 4, 2019 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C
Yesterday we headed inland and climbed to the lookout on Mingenew Hill to take in the amazing views of the countryside, mostly growing wheat and canola before driving to the Coalseam Conservation Park to see the wildflowers, we stopped at several lookouts on the Irwin River before doing a loop walk of 3.2kms on the ridge.
Back late afternoon to join in Happy Hour with other travellers and management on the beach to watch the sunset. Fire roaring, lots of laughs (just like during the day) drinks and nibbles, ending the night with Pizza. Another great day.🤣🤣🤪🤪Read more

Dongara
September 3, 2019 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C
Started off yesterday walking out on the beach and boardwalk and then walked into town to do the 4 km Dongara Heritage Walk taking in 28 heritage sites some of which are now private homes. We stopped at the local pub, built in 1867, for lunch, so good we had to go back for dinner which was great. Lovely accommodation and a great beach.Read more

Perth to Dongara
September 2, 2019 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C
Left early yesterday for the 350km trip to Dongara mostly along the coast stopping at Lancelin for a dune buggy hoon around the miles of sand dunes. Guess who got stuck going up a hill🤪🤪🤪So Jeanette had to push me out🤣🤣🤣great fun, felt like a teenager again.
Then to The Pinnacles, a strange sometimes eerie feeling with the rock formations in the sand.
Now at the Seaspray Beach Holiday Park overlooking the ocean in a lovely two bdrm villa. The shower head is something else but at least there is plenty of hot water.Read more
