Last eveing stayed at Wooramel Station, working station, very windy but not well maintained. Left early again red earth, scrub along the way, seen some goats and sheep but they do not seen to have to eat.
On to Overlander Roadhouse where you turn off to Denham and Monkey Mia. Monkey Mia is a resort and you do not realize until you get there that it is the only place in the National Park that you can stay at, there is no camping in the National Park. stayed overnight and for the first time since we left Mackay it rained. It is cold here , must have gotten used to the heat in the north. In the morning we got to see the dolphins who come into the bay.
Then on to Coral Bay, a bit disappointing, nice beach , coral reef but not much else and it is very expensive, drove in and out.

Also got to see a few sharks close up.
Spent the night along the Murchison River - free camp. woke up and it was 12C .

Drove into Kalbarri - picturesque seaside town at the mouth of Murchison River surrounded by National
Park. Leaving Kalbarri we explored all the lime stone cliffs that plunge more that 100 metres to the ocean. Also farm lands, flowers, green trees, wheat, barley and sheep.
A few kilometers south you pass a area where the water has turned pink, Pink Lake - official name Hutton Lagoon - ia a salt lake with a pink hue due to the presence of the carotenoids producing algae Dunaliella Salina which is a source of Beta-Carotene a food colouring agent .
Visited Lynton Heritage Site.
Stayed at Drummond Cove Caravan park.
