Up the road to the Bay 23/11/15

  Time to go for a drive up the road , we packed up after a good night's sleep . No rush today , we weren't going far , so we took it easy and still left just after 9am .
  We called around and saw Kim , wished him well with his broken foot and headed off . Todays destination is Jurien Bay - a whole 23klms away !!! I did ask Lyn if she wanted to change drivers as it may have been to long a drive , but she declined and toughed it out . We arrived at 9:40am and checked in & set up .
Bikes off , we headed down the street to the chemist , then the visitor information centre , before having lunch .
 Jurien Bay has a population of 2000 , and is spread along about 6 klms of the bay , as well as a little section further in to the hills . The main business is crayfish & tourism , with a lot of parachuting as well . It is smack bang in the middle of Turquoise Coast - aptly named , as that is the colour of the water here . There is parkland beside the beach and a small pier going into the bay , there is seating and a children's playground , as well as a bike track that stretches from the marina at the northern end of town to the end of the newest subdivision 6 klms away , with little offshoots leading to the beach , gazebo's have been installed in various locations for people to sit and contemplate the world .

  There are several islands off shore , some only about 1 klm away , others a bit further out , reputedly some of the best fishing in WA .

  The overriding factor is definitely the colour of the water - just beautiful !!!

 As you can see , driving on beaches in WA is a birth rite - just about everyone drives down the beach at some stage - some days it seems like everyone is driving down the beach ( weekends ).

 Coming back from the end of the bike track , we stopped and sat on the pier for a while , chatting to our new neighbour , who come from Broulee on the south coast of NSW , and they used to live in Bowral , Mittagong and Colo Vale - see , it doesn't matter where you go , you always run into someone from where you used to live !!!!
 Jumping back on the bikes , we rode down to the marina and back , before having a beer & some cheese & bickies .
 Well that's it for today , here's a map :-https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=z1G8gwwxwyYo.kpmvdo2gcThg&usp=sharing
