We left the camping at around 9 am and headed towards the Geraldton Woolworths for some new groceries, took fuel, got some new wine and beer and bought Metalfix, some water based paint that seems to bond well with rust, advised by a fellow camper at Quobba Point. His bus was covered with red blotches of the paint. Luckily they also sell it in grey which matches our bus :). At the same shopping centre there was a Kiting shop that had some tips and sold full length wetsuits specially for kiting and windsurfing. So no more freezing my xxxs off in cold water or display of excessive skin 😉
Then we drive more inland towards a natural pool we read about. First we pass the Geraldton wind park with 54 massive wind turbines that moved really slow in the hard wind. I guess they generate quite a bit of power at these slow speeds but have less wear and also not make the annoying sound that fast turning turbines make.
There are nice displays of wild flowers and suddenly we think it starts to hail, but no, we are hit with an army of bees that seem to enjoy the fields of little purple flowers before splashing to bits on our windscreen. Next we arrive at the campsite. The flies definitely get less annoying the more we head south.
The campsite is in a nice bush setting and we find a spot along the water.
With no waves and not too much wind Marjo gets the itch and does a little kayak dance.
Then she is off and makes some scenery shots along the way.
When she’s back it’s time for drinks and dinner. Another great day.
