We took the coastal road to Cervantes, a crayfishing town, north of Perth and checked into Pinnacles Caravan Park at about 12.30pm ($30 power & water). After lunch at the van we had a look around the town and called in to the Visitors Centre.
That night we went to the Community Club for Happy Hour and dinner. We had been given a voucher at the caravan park for a seafood platter and made that our dinner. It was good value with oysters kilpatrick (1 each), king prawns, fish, chips, a small half lobster and help yourself to salad bar, all for $65 per couple.
The next day we drove out to Nambung National Park to visit The Pinnacles Desert, an area of thousands of limestone pillars, rising from the sand dunes. We walked the loop walk around the dunes and enjoyed this extraordinary area.
We then drove to Lake Thetis to see more stromatolites, but after seeing them at Hamlin Pool a few days before were not very impressed. Pete reckons they are as interesting as watching paint dry!!!
Caught up with our washing in the afternoon and had dinner in the van.
On our last day in Cervantes we took a walk along the beach in front of the caravan park. Lots of crayfish boats moored in the water. It was very windy. We thought we couldn't leave this crayfishing town without trying the local product and went to the Lobster Shack for a late lunch. I ordered grilled Lobster served with salad and chips and it was great. Pete had fish and chips.
We spent the remainder of the afternoon preparing the van for storage in Perth, where we are going to stay with Marg and John. Looking forward to a proper bed and a real inside bathroom!!!!!
We have decided that we are ready for home and when we leave Perth will be heading home by the most direct route. All going well, we will most likely be home around the middle of August.
Cheers
Rhonda (Sam) & Pete
