Kalbarri

Monday 13th
We checked out of Geraldton with our clean caravan, nice to get the caravan and everything clean after bush free camping for a while. As we left Geraldton we counted 11 huge black & red grain/mineral  boats out at sea waiting to come into the port. We learned that there are a lot of reefs not far out and we saw 2 tug boats very carefully bringing in a huge boat so it wouldn't hit any reef.
The countryside was hilly for a while then became flat with salt bush, bushes and very few trees, a bit like around Iron Knob. Red sandy soil. We saw wild goats near the road but they were smart enough to stay off the road.
We drove into Kalbarri to have a look. Some big houses, big boats and a lot of money is spent there in holiday time. Some crayfish trucks there waiting for the boats to come in.

After a play in the playground we headed back out to the highway to find a spot to stay for the night.

This free camping spot was near Nerren Nerren.

The kids wanted the shovel down, not so they could go to the toilet, but just so they could dig holes! As you can see the soil is very orange/red. A very strong colour, especially when you dug down a bit.
