Geraldton
We arrived in Geraldton yesterday. It is sunny and a little warmer, but it is so windy. I’d heard the trees all grow on an angle but didn’t expect it to be so acute an angle! They look like big bonsai and make me I’m back in Japan at a bonsai exhibition.
We travelled the coastal roads from Jurien to here and it was a beautiful drive. Dongara/Port Dennison was really beautiful and we have plans to stay there on the way back down. In Dongara we went to the pub to have some lunch, they wanted $21 for a chicken parmigiana, so we went across the road to a small café. I had the best burger I’ve eaten in ages (miles better than Kermonds) and Russ had snapper, chips and salad way better than the stuff we were promised was “the best in WA” when we were in Fremantle!
The caravan park we are staying in is pretty big, but pretty good. We have an en suite for the 3 nights we have booked to stay, so I’m really happy about that. Our neighbours from Bichino in Tasmania are friendly (maybe a bit chatty when they get started) and nice.
On our way to do a bit of shopping, we took a quick tour of the park and spotted a van belonging to a young family we had met at Fraser Range Sheep Station Caravan Park. We actually spotted the van in Cervantes CP too the day we visited the pinnacles. It turns out they were at the Pinnacles earlier in the day when an elderly man stripped off all his gear to run naked through them. When Pam said “shame on you” to him, he laughed and said he was doing “a Billy Connolly”. I’m so sad I missed it and couldn’t encourage Russ to do it!
