Kate Here: We camped out in the wild for the first time. We had a big fire. It was great fun. When I woke up in the morning there were Kangaroos hopping around the caravan. There were millions of wild pumpkins all over the place. Just before we left Jack and I put a pumpkin under each wheel of the car and caravan and they got squished.
We are driving up the west coast and have seen some amazing beaches and cliffs and enormous sand dunes that you can surf down on boards just like snowboards. We saw a lake that was all pink because of algae that is farmed for medicines.
We have spent 2 nights in Kalbarri to get stocked up and batteries recharged in the camper. The first night we went to Finleys B.BQ. But this was no ordinary B.B.Q This was a massive kitchen and there were 3 chefs and you would chose what you want and you would get a card with a number on it and ours was 75 and when your thing is ready 1 of the chefs would shout your number and you would go and get it. This wasn't a restrant it was axually an old barn with lots of chairs and tables.

Gary taken over, Kate burnt out. We drove 26kms up a dirt/sand road yesterday to visit a gorge which we hoped would be worthwhile as it was a fairly course drive. On the way we stopped to see a blotchedblue tongue lizard which has a bright blue tongue to warn you off. So the more it poked out its tongue the more we followed.When we hit the gorge on the above pic you followed a fairly interesting path for 3hrs around the top and down into the river bed. Unfortunately we couldn't use our kayaks to got into the gorge, the Australians too like a few rules. Marvon, the gorge here is very like Todra in Morrocco. As we arrived late we had a push on to get back before dark which is 6.30pm. J&K virtually ran round on the promise of milk shakes if we ever found our way home. We purchased a wonderful GPS which shows all the Aus 4wd and bush tracks over the sand so unfortunately you may say we should see Craggish again. More importantly it shows all the public toilets for the older traveller.

Our Kimberley Kamper is so new that most places we go we have to be polite to all enquiries as Aus. folk are most impressed but haven't seen one before. Then we pull out the folding bikes and they attract attenton and just when your clear of the admirers we take the pedal kayaks off the roof. Say no more, diplomacy has gone by now. Push off Bruce is usually adequate, Gary.
