Drive to Geraldton

Per the recommendation, I started at Sandy Cape. It was filled with seaweed due to a recent storm. I stopped and chatted with some senior Aussie's. It seems that every time I talk to someone over 60, they are quick to give me unsolicited warnings and advice. The first time, a man was talking unsafety to the degree of murders. I quickly shut him down and told him I didn’t have space for his fears. Today, it was milder. Although I didn't appreciate her racist comments about aboriginal children. Anyways, I'm learning not to take it in. A big step for an empath with anxiety like me.

I made my way to 3 Bays & Dynamite Bay. The guidebook boasts amazing views and a scenic hike. It was pretty, and the path was short.

Due to road closures, I decided to head all the way to Geraldton. It would put me at around 250 kilometers for the day. I visit the downtown area and observe its industrial section. I finally get my feet in water.

I head another 20 minutes to a free camp site on the beach. I'm relieved and starving and quickly whip up my dinner. Before I could take my first bite, Rangers warned me that the 5 sites were taken, and I would be cited if I stayed. I asked if there was another free area, and they told me about Coronation Beach, another 25 kilometers north. Damn... it's close to sunset, so I decide to hold off on eating to make my way.

Getting to Coronation Beach and finding a spot was another relief. I took my meal and headed to the beach to enjoy it. This is the first time I sat and watched the sunset in its entirety. And the beach is prettier than where I was. The waters are calm, and I plan to take a dip before leaving tomorrow.

Another eventful day, yet I am eagerly awaiting my arrival to Monkey Mia and Exmouth for some prime snorkeling. It's also my sun and moon zenith points in Astrocartography. It's the reason I picked this area.

I reflected on how I feel in constant motion and plan to spend the next week leisurely in the area. I have to make time for some serious meditation and journey work to see if I can get some guidance and inspiration. I can't wait.Läs mer
