Belated blogging where Kerrie gets ticked off and gets on the weed.

Well it has been a while since my last post, mainly because we have been staying out of towns and out of towns there is not much in the way of internet at all.
We said goodbye to Cliff Head the day before Anzac day, heading through Geraldton up towards , Kalbarri.
I was quite happy to be moving on, since the weed on the beach had gotten worse, as had the fishing, and I got attacked by a huge, ferocious tick requiring major surgery to remove it! Ok, it was an ordinary bush tick that Nola pulled off with tweezers, I just hate ticks!

On the weed after my run in with the tick

Kalbarri

Stayed 3 nights at Kalbarri, where they had not had any rain for 200 days. Guess what happened? Torrential downpours all along the coast. As I watched the poor people in tents at the park ruefully trying to dry out their sodden camp gear and belongings the next day, I was very glad to be in a caravan that doesn't even leak. Although the rain put a little spanner in the works of our sightseeing plans we couldn't be upset as they desperately need the rain over here, and we got to see what we wanted in the end anyway.

Kalbarri Coastal Cliffs

Here it  comes!

Found this unusual rock formation on the cliffs, Garry calls it The Metaldustia Backpackera Formation.

Once the rain went we were able to go out to the gorges at the Kalbarri National Park, which were well worth the wait. 

Gorging on gorgeous gorges!

Z Loop gorge

As if the amazing scenery isn't enough in the National Parks and beaches, WA really does incredible sunsets.

On our way home from the gorges this little guy decided to cross the road in front of us, not wanting to squash him or get a puncture we stopped to take a photo.

And off he goes.
