We have had a lovely couple of days of sunshine and even broke out the shorts and t/shits. Some went swimming, but it isn't quite warm enough for me yet.
The Pinnicles were very interesting and quite beautiful. The scientists are still out on their theory as to why they are there, but one theory is it is petrified from Turat trees many 1000's of years ago.
Continuing on the Indian Coast Rd ( very pretty drive along the coast), we came to a free camp called Nobby's Head. Great place to camp with only 50 mt to the beach. White sand, with the water sheltered by the reef about 4 mile out. The boys (Denis and Doug) put their boats in and went fishing. Alas, Denis came back with nought, Doug the same. Paul and Rob went fishing ( this time with bait, not just lures) and came back with fish. Not sure what they were, but at least they were fish. Some of it tasted okay on the BBQ that night, but some was meant to stay in the water, I think.
Elaine, Doug, Denis and Rob all went swimming and found lobsters! Unfortunately we think it was out of season.
Woke up this morning to the wind getting up (one more time), and at 6:00am we had Denis asking Paul for his anchor as Doug's boat was drifting quite badly. The boys 'secured' the boat, so they thought on the seaweed, only to find the seaweed had disappeared along with boat now under water!
All this before breakfast made for entertainment to some back-packers as we winched, dug, rolled, bucketed, the boat to higher and safer ground.
After all the excitement it was then time to pack up and hit the road again. Heading into Geraldton, some crazy trees, growing at right angles made for some fantastic photo moments. Must be horribly windy at times along here is all I can say.
Oh, the other thing is that I have finally got some 'dirt' on Bec McG. She is a home wreaker; but I will keep that one till a bit later. Paul is in doing the shopping, so goodness knows what he is getting and how much it will cost. Had better run. Talk soon.

Heard the following in the toilet yesterday "Min some one has stolen our house"-- "Eccles are we in the right toilet "-- "I think so Min I saw that old bloke with the beard here earlier, look behind this 4 be 2 Min and see for your self Min"-- strange noise coming from Min , a bit like a cat being strangled ---"It must have been the phantom house thief from down south Eccles, what are we going to do , we will never get another first home owner,s grant",
ReplyDeleteAs I Left the toilet I wondered what tragedy was unfolding next door and what terrible crime had been inflicted on this newly wed couple.
At least I had a nice warm home to go to --shame on you the wicked phantom house thief.
