Today was largely a travel day – and some of it in the reverse direction on roads we travelled a month ago. The morning was spent continuing our clean up from the ‘mudding’ and general washing/cleaning with unlimited water before we hit our required 10am caravan park departure time in Onslow.

Then it was nearly 400km of windy driving. Fuel economy was very poor today. We rocked up to Coral bay just after 330pm, checked in to our site and found Jase and Sue. Turns out we timed our arrival perfectly for happy hour at the caravan park bar and restaurant! Who knew 🙂 ?

Once settled and caught up on the last few days, it just seemed easier to stay on and have an easy dinner in the restaurant…so we did. We haven’t done a full set up of the van as we need to be out by 7am in the morning to park on the street before heading out on our cruise for the day. So no cooking fitted perfectly with that.

Karen and Kieran have travelled south through Carnarvon again and are camped at Quobba Station tonight. By all accounts it is just as cold and windy there as it is here. We will catch up with them again tomorrow night.

This evening we had a quick walk to the beach after sunset. It was way too windy and cold to stay out.

Tomorrow we are heading on a Manta Ray swimming cruise with the Allen’s. I really hope the weather is better than today! Then a late afternoon drive to Quobba Station for 3 nights.
