Day 69 - Lancelin to Jurien Bay

After MUCH deliberation we decided to go to Jurien Bay so we would be in the middle of Cervantes and Green Head. Only 107km from Lancelin so easy drive. Checked on the Website and said park was fully booked, rang just in case and they had 2 sites left at G'Day Park.

So relieved this park is nice after yesterdays horrible place which looked like it hadn't been cleaned for months plus I had the 'pleasure' of watching the Manager abusing a lady who wanted to use amenities - not a guest.

Anyway, we both love Jurien Bay, has a nice vibe to it. Unhooked and went exploring, first stop get fuel at BP and we had a guy fill up our tank, haven't had service at a Servo for many years, was a shock.

Checked out the Jetty, just outside the Park, must say it is the smallest Jetty we have seen, lots of families throwing a line, some evidence of previous catches on the dock.

Drove back down the Coast to The Pinnacles Desert Discovery in Nambung National Park just outside Cervantes. It is definitely school holidays...had to queue up to pay the entrance fee of $17 to enter the park, didn't know what to expect but there were 1000's of Pinnacles (Rocks sticking up out of the ground) many shapes and sizes. Acres of rocks being surrounded by 100's of tourists (spot the Oz here), interesting to see this out in the middle of no-where though.

Then into Cervantes, we were going to the Lobster Shack for lunch, but there were at least 30 cars out the front, so change of venue, went to the Tavern - which also sold Lobster. Wow, they know how to charge, to have 1 lobster with chips and salad $80 or Seafood Platter for one $160. Wayne had a steak with a Lobster tail and I had Chicken Parmie with a Lobster tail, much better option.

Drove out to Thirsty Point Lookout, then Hansen Bay Lookout, then to Molah Hill Lookout....by now Wayne is over lookouts hahaha. Headed back to Jurien Bay and checked out the Harbour, tried to find a way out the rock groins to see if worth going for a fish, definitely have potential, will give it a go tomorrow.

Dropped into the Jetty on way home to see if anyone was having any luck, saw a guy with 2 or 3 fish in his bucket, still lots of people on the small jetty. Van park is very full but still quiet where we are.

Easy night, no dinner to cook, bought home a doggy bag from lunch - too big for me to eat.Læs mere
