We left the Overlander Roadhouse as early as we could. We decided to have breakfast on the road somewhere. We drove for about an hour to a rest stop where we had our usual three course brekky. (Orange/Grapefruit then muesli/porridge followed by sourdough toast and sugar fee jam). The weather was bright and sunny and the horrors of the Overlander and Monkey Mia seemed a million miles away. Our destination today was the coastal town of Kalbarri from where we would ...

After brekky we hit the road down to Monkey Mia. On the way we stopped to have a look at shell beach. It is the most beautiful beach we have ever seen. It was a very serene place and had a really magical feel. The beach was entirely made up of tiny white cockle shells for as far as the eye could see. There must have been trillions of shells here. It was simply amazing. This perfect snow white beach went down into the extremely calm and gorgeous aqua blue ocean wa...

After a lovely brekky we hit the highway. As usual the scenery was an seemingly endless expanse of bush, scrub and the beautiful red dirt. We were heading in the direction of Monkey Mia and Shark Bay. It was just under 200 kilometres down highway 1 until we reached the turn off for Shark Bay at the Overlander Roadhouse. We got some fuel at the roadhouse and then we turned off the main highway where a large brick structure greeted us emblazoned with the words 'Sha...

After brekky to the sound of a load of gorgeous cockatoos we hit the highway. Our destination today was Carnarvon which was only about 160 kilometres away. About 50 kilometres from Carnarvon we took the turn off towards the coast to go and have a look at the blowholes. We have already seen quite a few stunning blowholes on our travels and didn't think we could experience anything better than what we'd already seen. We did though. It was well worth the detour as t...

After brekky we hit the highway again. We had originally been intending on going to Exmouth but we changed our minds. From what we had read and from what other people had told us it sounded to us like Exmouth would be too much like Broome. It sounded like hell. We had nightmarish visions of all the 'sheep' rammed in, satellite TV's blaring, so we changed to plan B. We didn't think we'd be missing much. We still drove to the coast but we went to Coral Bay instead....
