Karajini NP

But Bridget was determined to swim in all of them.

And climb as far she could until there was no path left.

Yes she did go in this one, just.

Water is quite cold

Hamersley Gorge

Millstream

This is a most beautiful area, no wind, few people and a place to swim
in fresh water.

$18 a night. We have entered the mining areas, where the activity never ceases.

Minderoo horses

This one is called gunsmoke.

A horse ride off into the sunset which are as red as the amazing soil
that is all around us

Ashburton River

10 mile pool on the ashburton.

Further upstream near K tree bore.

They haven't had enough rain for it to flow in years.

Onslow carnival

Cheers!

Lunch

Not a bad lunch spot, but also turns out to be a turtle nesting area.
We are now bush camping in the Ningaloo national park. That will be a
good look after 2 days.

Coral Bay

Bridge feeding BBQ size Snapper off the back of the boat.

Not a single cloud in the sky today

Coral Bay

We made it to Coral Bay today. Worth every km. The blow holes just north of Carnarvon were quite impressive.

Shark Bay

Yes, that's a tiger shark

And that's a sand bar shark

Whose coming in for a swim?

Monkey Mia sunset

Just after we took this photo, mother and baby dolphin swam past.

Shark Bay

Shell castle

No, it's a dolphin

Exhausted after setting up our first camp

Made it to shell bay

More gorges

The road to Natures Window opened at noon so we drove in before
heading off to Hamelin Station. Wonderful place just recently been
done up, 500k acre property.
Rainbow jungle birds

More gorges

Rainbow jungle birds

Kalbarri

So after lunch we went to the river to see the gorges.

And here they are, gorgeous.

Massive river bed that only flows every few years. We saw kangeroos,
wild goats and many birds.

We finished the day at Finlays outdoor fish BBQ take it as it comes
restaurant.

Rained all night and continued until lunch.

Pink lake

Really is a vivid pink, algae is farmed for medicinal purposes.

Sunset at the Pinnacles

End of day 1. Over cast and raining, but not too cold.
