Lake Indoon, Leeman, Green Head, Jurrien Bay

by in Trip, Western Australia

The next day starts cold and overcast. We have seen the Ellendale pool and after dumping our toilet cassette we are on the move again. With more small movements we start relying again on our GPS which sends us down another 34 km dirt road. We are not in agreement though and do a u-turn and return past the windmills towards the coast. We want to go to a large lake (Indoon) that seems to be nice for water sports and allows dogs.
It is not to be.

With these warnings the campsite has barely any campers and we are game, but not stupid. After have lunch here, we move on and head to Leeman which is renowned for kiting. The coast here has a reef about a kilometer from the coast that keeps the waves out. Ideal for kiting…..if…there….was…..beach access.

The beach is not visible under the loads of seaweed. We have seen this since Carnarvon and the west coast seems to be covered with the stuff. It’s about time more dugongs eat all this stuff or some genius scientist finds a purpose as it’s not very nice along the shore.

Our next option is Green Head which has no real beach. The cost is mainly rocks which is a pretty sight, but has no purpose for what we want to do.

Next is Jurrien Bay and this gives more satisfaction. By now it’s late and the wind has gone so we turn into a campsite and stay for the night. I cook Fish and Chips and we catch up on emails and Facebook and listen half to a divorced father desperately trying to get his three under 10 sons to get to sleep in a tent too small. Poor guy.
