• Kalbarri Day 4 Gecko Lodge

    August 31 in Australia ⋅ 🌙 18 °C

    We had coffee one last time at Truncin' Good Coffee with Jane. Decamping was done without haste as we weren't racing the weather nor did the camp host Rod and Tina adhere strictly to checkout times.
    It's only 10 mins from Murchison House Station to Kalbarri town. We were too early to check-in to Gecko Lodge Accommodation so we parked at Meanara Lookout where we had mobile reception for the first time in 5 days, to catch up on messages and emails.
    As we were feeling a little peckish, we went to Finley's fish bbq ,one of the 2 restaurants open for lunch in Kalbarri, and shared a seafood linguine . No sooner had were put in our order when a massive busload of Asian tourists descended on the restaurant. We said to the waitress that she looked like she was going to be rushed off her feet to which she replied, "Good bye. I will never see the again, I think I migh die."
    When we got to our comfortable "penthouse" at Gecko Lodge, we did not want to leave anymore. We had initially planned to go to the beach, and walk in town but remembered the busload of Asians so had a bath instead. We only popped out briefly to a food truck called Wild Ocean Indonesian for beef rendang and mee goreng take away which was suprisingly authentic and delicious.
