We turned right at Perth and headed 2 hours up north to Sandy Cape on the Turquoise Coast, but spent the first couple of days upgrading/fixing our caravan. Lucky for us, Timo had identified some improvements that would set us up much better for the rougher and more remote roads ahead.

And so, with some shiny new bits on our caravan, we were free to explore this beautiful piece of the country. First stop was the Pinnacles in the Nambung National Park, a yellow sandy desert filled with impressive limestone formations of various shapes and sizes. Then onto Lake Thetis to see 3.5 billion-year-old Stromatolites, the oldest lifeforms on our planet!

We spent the rest of our time on the coast, known for its abundant lobsters, great fishing and mounds of smelly sea grass. Our SUP came out for its maiden voyage of the trip as we enjoyed swimming in an ocean that felt about 20 degrees warmer than the south coast; at least until 4 out of the 5 of us were stung by what we think were tiny little jelly fish!Lue lisää
