From Kalbarri we leave very very slowly. Not only does the very strong Eastern wind push us slowly seawards, but also the coast south of Kalbarri is a sight to see. Our first stop is the IGA for food and then we’re stopping 1 km out of town to look at the bluff.

The ocean here is wild and powerful and we watch it for a while. Also the coast is colourful.

Then Marjo visits the Rainbow jungle to look at parrots.

Then we hit the various turn offs into the Kalbarri National park to see the

Then we pass a pink (!) lake, run almost two bicyclists off the road and hit the wheat belt.

Then we came back to the Indian Ocean.

To escape the gazzillion flies that love dogs faces as much as ours I made a run for the ocean followed by our two four-legged companions and dove in with hat and flynet. Marjo followed soon.

After our swim the flies didn’t want to leave us alone and itched Nossi on his back.

Some flies were foolish enough to land on Dotti’s snout before she had dinner.
