Well that was “fun”. National Park out of Kalbarri trying to outrun the rain yet again, except I was sucessful this time. Then after 100k changed to sheep and wheat stubble until the turnoff the Durham where it goes back to similiar to Kalbarri. The highway was nearly a Masters level class in caravan overtaking. Most I have seen since I started the trip.
You could not see any water for most of the way into Dunham from the turnoff. First stop was Shell Beach which as per its name is made up of ground down sea shells and not sand. Interesting fact is that this beach is a source of the shell grit you give chooks. The mine is just outside the reserve.
The water is a deep blue and is quite shallow and protected so no real waves to speak off. For a World Heritage Area, the roads into the lookouts need some work. Unlike Kalbarri were they are all sealed, some could be best described as corrugated sand covered goat tracks. Gave up on a couple, even after I had set up camp and lightened the bike. The couple I did into were interesting but in my opinion, not in the same league as yesterday.
Just had tea on the water front and interesting to note that a reasonably numbers of the businesses in the main street are up for sale.
In a caravan park just off the main street. Interesting surface in the park, the shell grit I mentioned earlier. Wuffy said it is like camping in a chook pen.
Early start in the morning. Have to be at Monkey Mia Resort before 7:30 which is about 28 km away for dolphin thing. Then its off towards Carnarvon.
