Emily and I arrived in Kalbarri last night, and are on our 6th day of travelling up the west coast. This computer is really slow and driving me bonkers so I won't write much, but Cervantes was beautiful and the Pinnacles were stunning, and the tour guide was a right character. It ended up being just me, Ems and Mike the chain-smoking tour guide and he ran off all of a sudden because he saw tracks that could be a snake or a sandgroper (if I was an insect I would quite like to be a sandgroper), and told us stories of naked people running around impersonating Billy Connelly and I really just can't describe him!
Northampton was something best left for Emily to describe!!! It is one street that is about 5 feet long and the caravan park was tiny and home to waifs and strays - but we were famous by the end of our trip all the locals knew of us ("Oh, are you the two girls from the caravan park?) and were keen to show us around the old house or the old train carriage; a little old lady who worked in the visitor's centre who was actually from Ontario took us out on the Wednesday afternoon to see the wildflowers, which were really pretty. I didn't understand wildflowers, but they are literally that and they grow in abundance in spring. In amongst the shrubery on the roads are pinks and yellows and greys and reds and purple, but the purple is actually a weed, apparently.
And now were are in Kalbarri, which is a windy coastal town with scenery that I just can't describe. There is pelican feeding every morning and we are booked to go canoeing in Kalbarri National Park but we need other poeple to sign up or it won't go ahead. We shall see! Then on Wednesday we are Greyhounding it up to Monkey Mia to see the dolphin feeding, and Broome on Saturday. I will put pictures up when I have more time. Thank you for all your messages on my message board - please write more!
