Daniel and Marysia around Australia: Kalbarri, Western Australia.

Do I look good with(out) my hair?

Moving on, we took Heather and Leigh's advice, stopping at Kalbarri. This is a must stop. The town is home to about 2000 whereupon holidays can spill to over 10,000 people. The Murchison Caravan Park was lovely, well set up with lovely landscapes on camp sites. We took time out to enjoy Chinaman's Beach with some sun, swimming in the sea and fishing.

This was the day that Daniel decided that his hair was too long, badly needing a haircut he pulled out the hairtrimmer, slid on the number 4 blade and told me to cut his hair! So I did...Shall I say he won't be asking me again........ for sooommme time! Ha ha!

Bodies regenerated it was time to keep moving North through the Kalbarri National Park, before making a night's stop at the Murchison River Bridge for the evening, which was now Good Friday. A quiet night where we had some dinner, read and practiced the guitars.

Flies!...no worries I have a Plan!

The next day saw us drive a little way further up the highway to Nerren Nerren, a 24 hour stopover only. Here the land around was a deep ochre red, dry and dusty. Nobody else in sight but the flies were everywhere so much so that Daniel pulled the roof top tent on the car down, erected the flyscreen where we sat in 33degree heat all day! and we didn't argue!

The flies, the heat, no water insight thought we should make tracks to our next destination at Hamelin Pool a day or two early if we could get in...and we did. Easter Sunday was spent here, with no coverage again. Yikes!

This was our Easter 2011...thank you Ania!

Your too kind Daniel!

Hamelin Pool was lovely, so was the beach, which was environmentally protected therefore you couldn't swim in it! The nearest swimming beach was 50 kilometres away but we had to get to water so we headed to Nanga Bay, where there was a caravan park too and by the beach!!
Not always do the books tell you where one should stay. Oh well! our journey is a learning curve if that. We stayed at Hamelin Pool where we caught up with tidying the van, replenishing, recharging, repowering, reading,practicing and of course sunbaking.

We commemorated Anzac Day with the Dawn Service with 5 girls from Perth who had taken 2 mini camper vans for the weekend parked next to us enjoying their stories for another night.
