This is the final post of our wonderful journey from Darwin to Perth.
From Kalbarri we had one night in Geraldton, a town about the size of Griffith, for some pathology tests in preparation for my planned sinus surgery in Sydney, then we stayed at Dongara for church on Sunday and had coffee on Monday with BCA minister David and Traci Mitchell.
Our caravan Park was right on the beach, this may was fishing in the strong wind.
From Dongara to Jurien Bay, cold and wet and windy, so no photos. But we had one fine day to visit Cervantes and The Pinnacles, an amazing area of an eroded protruding petrified forest (one of the two theories).
We drove on a designated path through this National Park and could get out and look at the formations.
A pity we only had brief sunlight to bring out the best of the photos.
The whole coast in the top map is lobster (Crayfish) territory. Most are exported live to Asia and Europe from Perth. We had a quick tour of the Lobster Shack, but the cold windy weather meant the catch was small and we didn't see much.
Finally we arrived in Perth, repacked our bags, gave away many items like extra blankets we had accumulated, has morning tea with Rob and Kaye Healey (BCA State Officer for WA) and caught the plane to Sydney, arriving Sunday evening.
Sadly Sydney rail had weekend trackwork on the line to Macquarie Centre, where we were staying, ready for my sinus surgery Monday. We survived two bus trips and an extra train journey to Macquarie Shopping Centre, even had a lovely security guard put us in his Golf Buggy to get us to our nearby apartment.
Surgery went well, now recuperating and will have family time on the weekend, see the Doctor on Monday, then start driving home after an amazing 3 months.
We hope you have enjoyed the pictures. God bless, Peter and Lee
