• Kalbarri Day 5 Bigurda Trail

    September 1 in Australia ⋅ 🌬 17 °C

    It was decadent to have continental breakfast and fried egg (pronounced by host as "egkers") provided at the Gecko Lodge Accommodation. We started at the north end of the Bigurda Trail and headed south. Followed the route of the humpback whales.
    Saw lots of wild animals on the trail. Wild feral goats, emu, whales, and a fisherman who climbed down a steep hill to fish at the wild rocks.
    The whales put on a spectacular performance of breeching, fin tapping, rolling, tail slap and two whales did what looked like a dance.
    Wild flowers were colourful and in abundance but not a single orchid petal or leaf.
    The first 5km took us 2½ hours due to whale, goat and fisherman watching.
    The return trip took only 1¼ hours.
    We came back to the apartment for left over Indonesian lunch from last night.
    Dinner was at Upstairs Restaurant, recommended by Jane and the Station owners.
