What a night, the wind, we were battered, we didnt get much sleep at all last night.
We packed up camp and headed down the road and got to the Pinnacles and headed in $11
entry but our Annual Pass covered that. We were not allowed to drive
the camper trailer around the Pinnacles so we parked and unhooked the
camper next to the other caravans which had done the same and headed
around in the cruiser.
It was a bleak and bitterley
cold day with bursts of sunshine, so we managed to get some shots in,
got to the main lookout in the middle and well I made it back to the car
but the heavens opened up. By this time Rena was refusing to get out of
the car as it was too cold for her.
We finished the
drive and I took photos from the passenger seat. Rena had a really good
point, it was wet and cold, why get out of the car.
We
got back to the car park and by this time the sun was back out (for a
little while at least) and hooked up the camper again then headed in to
the interpretative centre. Very interesting, just wish I didnt have a
very active 4 year old with me so I could have read all of what was on
display. The lighting in the place meant that I couldnt do what I
normally do with Rena and take a photo and read it later.
We then headed in to the shop and I bought a little book on the Pinnacles, very interesting read.
We
then headed back to the car and took off back to the coast road, a
little while down the road (as I went back to the shop to get the book
and left James to take Rena and put her in the car) if he had picked up
the wheel chock for the camper. DOH!!!! no he hadn't so u turn and we go
back and collect the chock. Luckily no one had picked it up. (we had
done exactly that back in VIC when someone had driven off and left it
behind we are rather attached to it now, and no we never caught up to
the van to give it back either).
We stoped at the Moore
River Rest Area and had a late lunch and checked it out to see if we
could camp there the night, but it was very tight and not really
suitable. We were talking to a local couple for ages who were on there
way home. Very nice couple who gave us a heads up on a few nice places
to visit.
We decided that we would head inland to try and get out of this horrible wind.
Whilst
going through Bindoon I got some fresh mandarins, oranges and avocados
from a road side stall. mmm mmm they were all very nice.
We
got to the Brockman River Parking Area and the wind wasnt too bad, it
was raining on and off, but we managed to set up in the dry.
Early to bed tonight, as we were all very tired.
