Day 73 - Kalbarri

Wanted to go and check out Lucky Bay Shacks and see if the road was open yet, we rang National Parks and they advised that the campsite is still closed. But we thought we might be able to get to the beach....worth a try.

First stop is the Pink Lake at Port Gregory, Wayne wouldn't have it that it was pink - but it was, went to a lookout and just past it was a small creek which showed very clearly that the Lake is Pink.

Drove to the Beach at Port Gregory, which is a small fishing village, I don't think they use the public Jetty though, totally covered in weed.

Turned into the road to Lucky Bay and the sign still up saying Campsites closed but nothing about the road, went in a couple of km, all good, over a hill and round a bend and yep, the road is completely submerged, turned around and tried another sandy road in opposite direction and started sliding all over the road - quick retreat. Pretty disappointed we couldn't get to the beach.

Took a look at Natural Bridge, Island Rock Lookout, The Grandstand, Pot Alley, Back Beach and Red Bluff Beach, watched a few Whales in the distance. By this time Wayne has had enough, cliffs and beaches. Parked at Chinaman's Beach, to see if it was worth having a fish, signs to say no fishing but at the end of the beach was Chinaman's Platform which had 8 ppl fishing, but didn't see anything being caught. Would have been funny if someone hooked a fish, they would have all got tangled up, very small area, no fishing today for us, Wayne not feeling 100% so quiet afternoon.

Bought Fish n Chips for lunch and did some planning for the next few days, had a quick shop as we will be off grid for a while.Weiterlesen
