Geraldton and Cervantes

Tuesday - 7th September

Packed up and headed off  down the coast, dropped into Pt. Gregory for a short look.  Nice little fishing village at between some red coloured salt lakes and the ocean.  Weather wasn't that suitable for staying in nice little villages so continued south to Geraldton.  Countryside on the way was beautiful, with rolling hills of wheat and I think canola.  We checked into the Belair CP.  Fairly ordinary park, very uneven site.  Took the cruiser in for a 40,000 service and had a look round the town.  Old gaol was good and the development down at the marina looked interesting.  Dock area is dominated by massive silos.

Wednesday - 8th September

Weather very pleasant today, we went down to Fisherman's Wharf to do some fishing, all we caught were puffer fish, bugger.  Went and did some shopping then did some fishing off the beach opposite the park.   Lots of nibbles and I landed a tiny little silver fish, threw it back to grow up a bit for next time.  Started catching puffer fish again so gave it away and went back to the park to cook up a big batch of curry.

Thursday - 9th September

Next stop Cervantes.  Took the scenic route, lots of little holiday shacks dotted along the coast, would be great if the weather was nice.  Checked in to the Cervantes CP, not much of  a site, but location excellent, right on the beach, pity the weather was so miserable.   Set up then headed on out to the Pinnacles, well worth a visit.  Then trundled off to Lake Thetis to check on the Stromatolites, but the rain had filled the tiny lake to overflowing and they were not evidence.
