Day 72 - Western Flora Caravan Park to Jurien Bay Part 1 - 09 October 2017

 This morning we set off on what is usually a guided walk on the Western Flora property but the owner was unwell so we went on our own The one hour walk was simply spectacular with all sorts of wildflowers seen. We then packed up the motorhome and drove to Badgingarra and went for another walk - this time on the Vern Westbrook walk. Another beautiful walk of several kilometres with abundant wildflowers. Feeling hungry by now we visited the Badgingarra roadhouse for a bite to eat - a burger in my case. Following lunch we backtracked a little in terms of direction by heading slightly northward to visit and drive through Lesueur National Park on an 18 km scenic drive before then heading to the Top Tourist Park in Jurien Bay.

Day 71 - Northampton to Western Flora Caravan Park - 08 October 2017

 I was still not feeling great this morning despite having upped the dose of my meds. Sue went for a walk on her own around the town of Northampton before we set off. First stop was Geraldton where we shopped for groceries and filled a gas bottle. We then stopped for lunch at the town beach/boat ramp area but found it far too windy to go for a walk. Following Northampton we drove a distance and stopped for a coffee at a historic homestead in the small village of Greenough. Next stop was Dongara where again we found the wind too blustery to go for a walk. We did, however, drive to the Fisherman's memorial and obelisk down by the ocean followed by a drive down a beautiful street full of Moreton Bay Figs. Then it was back on the road again heading to Western Flora Caravan Park on the Dongara - Eneabba stretch of the highway. After setting up at the caravan park we went for a short walk to the small dam/lake before dinner. More to explore tomorrow.
