053 - Sandy Cape to Kalbarri (19/5/17)

A bit of a non-descript day, as if Sandy Bay was sulking that we were leaving, and the skies decided that they’d open just as I had to pack up. Thankfully I’m a getting a little used to this packing up stuff, and most of the big ticket items (awning, chairs, tables, etc.) were done the night before.

The Rock Truck and BGL posing with some ominous clouds (and a bin) on our way out of Sandy Cape. Van coped pretty well with the light corrugations.

The rain chased us most of the way to Kalbarri, our next stop as we dodged showers and intermittent bits of roadwork.

You could tell that the we were heading to a bit of a windy part of the world as the trees at one point looked as if they were growing sideways instead of upwards.

A quick impromptu lunch at Geraldton and it’s pretty impressive foreshore playground (which we meanly told the kids they couldn’t play on due to the impending shower and need to keep moving) and we kicked on.


A Death Slide that wasn't frequented...

A multi purpose court cage match kind of arena...

What a picturesque place for a sanga

The storms and wind played havoc with the fuel consumption and once again we nudged some fairly astronomical numbers.

When we got to Kalbarri the place B had lined up to stay informed us that they in fact did have power and water. Just not on the same site, or at the same time… I cracked the shits and said “Nup, move on” and we went down into town to a park a little closer to ‘town’ and the waterfront.

In the end it proved to be a good decision as the park (Anchorage Caravan Park) was excellent and the facilities as expected.


As we set up, the rain came again and we got the impression this would prove to be a tough couple of days to catch up on the washing.

The pool at the caravan park. B and the kids checking if it was heated. It was not. And as such, not frequented as the weather had not been kind.

Not sure about this shot, I suspect it was from our afternoon tour around Kalbarri as Evie looks as if she's had a shower. Still, smiles all round...
