Our quest for warmth has seen us head to Kalbarri , but it's still a bit cool . Emma and Mike came up to stay for 6 nights to experience what Kalbarri has to offer and weren't disappointed .
A different start to the blog with another sunset - hope your'e not getting bored with them , cause there's plenty more to come .
This is overlooking the estuary from next to the boat ramp .
After playing golf for 2 days , I joined Emma & Mike for a walk along the Bigurda Trail - it's an 8klm walk along the coastal cliffs from Natural Bridge & Castle Rock to Eagle's Nest . It promises to be a spectacular walk and Emma & Mike were suitably excited . Lyn dropped us off after we left Mike's car at Eagles Nest and we started off - it was great seeing the excitement & enthusiasm of Emma as we wandered along .
Views are as you would expect for here - spectacular - and we were getting plenty walking along the edge of the cliffs .
We looked behind us and saw some dark clouds developing , and rain dumping on the ocean , so we got going again to get as far away as we could .
The cliffs kept getting our attention though , and also the colour of the water .
Further up the track and we still had 3klms to go , the clouds getting darker and now also coming after us , time to get moving again .
This was out to sea , we have got some stunning photos from all the storm clouds & rain .
You have to watch your step while walking as it can be very rocky in places - good ankle twisting material !! We looked up , only to see the clouds had jumped in front of us now - we resigned ourselves to getting wet at same point in the walk .
The rain was holding off , with the occasional drops hitting us , we kept heading - 900m to go and some light rain , but nothing serious though .
We made it back to the car without getting drowned - quite amazing given the conditions - more warm & sweaty then damp from rain . As a side note , Lyn took Pepper for a walk down to the inlet and got soaked on the way back to the van , and was not impressed when we arrived drier !
Next day we went for a drive down to Lucky Bay - a beachside camping area not that far from Port Gregory . This is the beach to the north .
This is to the south with Port Gregory and Pink Lake in the distance .
This is the campground behind the dunes , seems you find yourself a patch to set up on and it's yours for a small camping fee .
Sections of rock/reef feature prominently on this coast .
We headed off back down to Port Gregory and showed them a few other view points of Pink Lake and had some lunch at the beach . From there it was on to the convict hiring centre ruins , this is the view from up the back toward the hills behind - yes another drone shot !
That's it for this one , here's a map link : - https://drive.google.com/open?id=16o0IUQn1tWoLepYuqH1KopmPT8jv3PTu&usp=sharing
