Staying put..for now

With WA. beginning to consider easing some restrictions sooner than expected we are hopeful opening movement between regions will be one of them.  They have reopened National Parks, so we are going to give it a few more weeks to see if we will be permitted to move into our nearest region to the west.   We have been here 6 weeks on Thursday.

Hakea Trail 23km is a coastal path - no road access. We have walked 2 sections so far, total 19km of awesome coastal views

First hike from Hamersley Inlet to Tamala Karst Lookout (a Karst is the Star Wars looking rock formations)

Back along through Hamersley Inlet rather than over the dunes

Awesome but eerie

Second hike from West Beach to Edwards Point..view from West Beach Lookout

Edwards Point...lunch stop

We joined our 2 neighbours for some 4wd fun to some remote areas of the park.  Frank was our tour guide, Bevan and Rhonda behind us.  The vegetation was low, the road very narrow and our cars got mighty scratched, but Derek was able to polish them all out.

Firstly to Quoin Beach

Then to Whale Bone Point and on to the beach and along Hamersley Inlet

Proud as punch!



We have got over our initial anxiety of being so isolated....6 months seemed impossible to contemplate, but now things are easing up after only 5 weeks, we are very use to our routine,  and are enjoying our stay a lot more, but are very keen to keep moving west soon.   We really don’t want to have to turn back, and whilst we have time on our side we are in a better mind set to stay here in WA a bit longer.

Roos protecting my washing, and our nightly cheeky possum found my bread in the fishing bucket under the van, an Argo Octopus Shell 

Still some good fishing, caught that elusive Salmon ...yay!
