Essential Travellers

Having made the decision to remain in Western Australia and not head back to Qld before borders closed we are getting very concerned how rapidly day to day activities are changing. But.... it’s official, the Government has classed full time travellers on Australian roads, as “essential travellers”, and should not be turned away from caravan parks and regional shops.

Having said this, we are relieved, as our booking here at Lucky Bay expires today, and it is booked out and we can’t extend, so are moving 2 1/2 hours west to a small camp ground called 4 mile beach in Fitzgerald NP, near Hopetoun, and have secured a 14 day stay, which takes us up to Easter.  We are mindful of not travelling unnecessarily, so after filling with water, and fuel, a load of laundry and a couple of items from the chemist and groceries, we will continue to self isolate, and exercise social distancing in our next NP (as long as it remains open)

There were only 4 groups of us, all from the Sunshine Coast, climbing Frenchman's Peak this day

Finally got our iconic photos with the resident kangaroos on the beach.

Lindsey left early and made a 1000km dash to the border before it closed. Squiding was woeful too windy, Derek caught a small flathead, and afternoon winds very strong each day. Good bye Lucky Bay.

Before our second stint at Lucky Bay we had a few days at Quagi Beach,  better fishing, 2 sea mullet made a nice lunch
