We broke camp at Seven Mile beach after a great brekkie of roti pratas and chicken curry ummo.
Seven mile Beach camp.
Unfortunately our drinking water pump has stopped producing so the coffee from the shower tanks had a pretty ucky taste, lotsa chlorine so much so Mavis couldn’t drink it. Sad when you get so used to nice water aint it grin. Will trouble shoot in Geraldton where we will be stopping for a night.
Again we stopped in to all tracks into the ocean on the last 60 kms to Geraldton. Must say that this coast is the prettiest ever. On the recommendation of some of our last night companions we dropped into Flat Rock where the surf was pounding and the surfers were having a ball, nice spot would be a good camp with toilet and garbage facilities.
Mavis was craving a coffee after the rejection of the contents of the shower water tanks for home coffee production so we stopped into Greenough for refreshments. If you are in the area do not go past this place. Coffee was average apple pie was great and the historic buildings well worth the admission price. We had done the tour during our last visit,wonderful.
On to Geraldton, wow and hasn’t it changed in the 5 years since our last visit. Housing gone up everywhere. We caught up with an internet friend from the Spinifex site. They currently live in Karratha but have a home in Geraldton. We had made contact earlier and were invited to park the rig in the driveway and say G-day. We showed the lady of the house over the van, unfortunately hubby was still in Karratha. They have plans of ordering a Spinifex in the near future and were very interested in our rig.
We did the tourist thing in Geraldton following the posted tourist route and did a little grocery shopping.
Next stop was the HMAS Sydney II memorial. What a great tribute to one of Australia’s horrific wartime losses, a very moving experience for both of us.
Tomorrow is another day and we will have to wait and see what it brings, what ever it may be it will be great.
