Leaving the sea lions behind us, we drove to Lesueur NP to see some wildflowers and gorges. Nice drive and scenery. Heading further north, we quickly stopped to check out the camping at Sandy Cape Recreational Park, which was so nice we stayed a couple of nights. The park is basic, but directly behind the dunes and a bit sheltered from the prevailing southerly wind. Clear turquoise water, white sandy beaches and dunes, plus the normal chilled groove on a place like this. Whilst packing up, we found a small scorpion holding on to one of the bags. Wildlife caretaker Silvan handled the reptile to safety without getting stung!
Further north we stopped at a place called Greenough, which is only famous for permanent wind and a old homestead. Nice enough to stop, specially at the world famous Blown Over Tree. This area has such permanent winds from the southern direction, that some free standing trees get bend over from the day they come out of the soil and grow like this, quite cool looking.
Once in Geralton, we drove up to the Lighthouse, had a look around the port before catching up with our friends Rob & Kat. They just moved to Geraldton, so good planning. We spent a few day with them before heading further north for Kalbarri. On the way we stopped at Oakabella Homestead, which is believed to be the 5th most haunted house in Australia. Didn't see any ghosts though...
