Francois Peron NP, Shark Bay

We comfortably arrived to Denham and indulged in our fresh veg and meat bbq at the Seaside CP, getting through some washing and playing on the inflatable pillow. We then spent the following two nights at Francois Peron NP and parked up at the Big Lagoon beach camp. Given all the rain, wind and wet sandy tracks into the park, we were the only ones at the camp! It then filled over the next day.. This was our very first full day without seeing the sun. It felt strange.

The following day we took the 4WD track through the NP, navigating the potholes and bumpy sand. It reminded us of the Gibb. But it was more fun for me as the driver! We stopped at Gregory’s and Andy straight away caught two whiting and three brim! I enjoyed a walk in black and white sand, climbing through some sharp rocks and admiring interesting cloud formations. We didn’t make it to the tip as originally planned as no one was keen to get shaken up any more.

Returning to Denham the next day we stopped at Peron Homestead for a dip in a 40 degree hot artisan tub. It was the best, so relaxing (especially for me and Andy, the girls found the water too hot). Then we tossed whether to take a trip to Monkey Mia for dolphin feeding. We eventually decided to miss it - save a bit if $$, time and see the sharks at the Ocean Aquarium instead the following day.Leer más
