Geraldton and East

Did some shopping in Geraldton, shoes and warm clothes. Provisioned and decided to head east away from the coast and hopefully the cold wind. About 90km east we stopped at Mullewa CP. It appears to be a prosperous and tidy town but very quiet like its Sunday not Tuesday.

Turned south east running parallel with the coast but about 100km from. FC south of Perenjon at Bunjil Rocks, nice spot, isolated.

FC at Merredin rest area, east of Goomalling, after stopping and walking about the towns we pass through on the way. Easy drive, leisurely. 

Southern Cross CP for the night. Washing housework etc. Nice clear still days but its cold at night!

On to Kalgoorlie and Boulder. Did the touristy stuff, interesting.

Carnarvon, Point Quobba, Kalbarri, Geraldton.

Stopped just one night in Carnarvon not nice CP, red dirt and a grumpy owner. Went north along the coast to Point Quobba $5.50/n. Very crowded but managed to fit into a level spot with good view.  Ended up staying 3 days and would come back. Nice beach walks when the wind drops.

Stopped at Hamelin right on the coast nice. Molly was permitted in the park but not on the beach?

Denham CP nice park overlooking the ocean. Washing and other domestic stuff and a bit of relaxing. Nanga Bay south of Denham CP nice as well. Drove to Monkey Mia saw 2 Dolphins a bit disappointed.

On to FC Nerren Nerren rest area for the night. In early and set up before the hordes arrived. Nice enough spot.

Kalbarri CP another dog bond $30 this time. Then Muchison CP didn't have a site big enough for us? Went to Anchorage CP bit run down but nice. Lots of beach walking with Molly.

Stopped near Coronation Beach overnight FC at Oakabella Rest Area and had a look at Port Gregory not impressed. Good for fishermen probably.  Been windy last couple of days and not all that warm.

Point Samson - Robe River

On to Point Samson after touristy stuff at Roebourne. Very Windy here. Mollie was attacked by another dog, unleashed, whilst I was walking her on the leash, bloody hell.  Had to fix burnt battery cables from our trip into Port Smith the other day.

Provisioned in Karratha before venturing into 40 mile and Gnoorea Point. More disappointment caravans everywhere, a dust bowl, and a gas company drilling 24/7. To late in the day to be moving on so just pulled over on a bit of level-ish dirt for the night. Apparently it used to be good before the cyclones. 

On to Robe River. Now this is better nice little spot.
Rocky piece of coastline but no walking the dog?
