Overshot Hill

by in Trip, Western Australia

We’ve seen wave rock. Tick in the box. No, that’s unfair. Everyone you talk to says “don’t go there as it is exactly as the picture” which is true but that picture doesn’t have us in it, it doesn’t give the memory of the place, so I’m glad we went.

We don’t want to take the same road back though and decide to skip a bit of coast between Albany and Ravensthorpe which is mainly inaccessible National Park anyway.

The road takes us past many large canola fields.

And places where they collect the harvested canola for transport to the factory.

Then we switch drivers and M. Monroe takes the wheel.

That’s Marjo Monroe.

And we found people have a sense of humour around here. Thats understandable with only fields of Canola and dried up lakes around you.

Now we’ve splurged $16 on last night’s camp site and $22 on my cooking (ok, $3.50 of which was the beer at the pub while waiting for the food), it is now time to camp for free. We find a nice rest stop with ample space and only one other caravanner, 6 km from Ravensthorpe which is our stay for the night. A nice spot and hardly any flies. we think they have all been captured by the giant ants as the ground is covered with quite large holes, the size of Marjo’s little finger. We are not concerned and set up for the night.

Another nice day.
