Week Four Day Twenty Seven

The view of Dynamite Cove


The Pinnacles (just a small part)


It was an amazing sight



Sawtooth Banskia

Today we bade farewell to Perth where we had relaxed for the longest period of time on our entire trip. We were however looking forward to what lay ahead. Our intention today was to visit "The Pinnacles" south of Cervantes and make our way onto Dongara-Denison.

However the inevitable happens when you see what looks like a beautiful spot to stop. Firstly we drove past miles of Sawtooth Banskia a very hardy looking scrub in the middle of a desert with temperatures reaching 35Degrees, of course we had to take photos. It was then onto "The Pinnacles" an amazing army of upright limestone spears each one resembling something from your imagination!!!!! One theory is that the limestone spears are petrified forest from millions of years ago, the second theory is captured in the link please read it it is fascinating. We drove around the area which is a sand road and took some amazing photo's. We then wanted to go swimming at Kangaroo Point which was very close by, but roadworks prevented that so we found ourselves driving another track to "Green Head" and "Dynamite Cove" ............Sounds far more dramatic than Kangaroo Point don't you think !!!!!!! WOW............. Brilliant White sands headlands and crystal clear water - we are once again hooked on the beauty please check out the photos.

The time is now running on and we still need to find a campsite so we picked a place on the GPS called "Sea Spray Caravan Site" Which is directly on the beach We are always very sceptical as we have found some good but some not so good campsites and I must say this is brilliant.Our own en-suite next to the tent, swimming pool, good facilities and beautiful white sand beach (all to ourselves) Hope and Wendy opted for the pool (Its 5pm and still about 30 degrees sunshine) I opted to walk to a vantage point for photos and a walk along the beach before the pool. What a wonderful day we all decided after home made kebabs, to stroll along the beach to take photos of the sunset ...............brilliant.

Hope's Blog........... It was so hot today, and mummy and daddy made me walk around looking at stones. They were pretty. It was great fun exploring the rocks and beach at the cove and I found some nice shells. But the best part was swimming when we got to the campsite. That was really great.
