A very big thank you to Sunset Beach Caravan Park for two nights free motel room amazing…..and free camping at Green Head and Lancelin Caravan Parks…very kind acts by these park managers.
Sunset at Dynamite Bay, Green Head just north of Perth.
The Pinnacles at Nambung NP. These structures are formed from calcium carbonate combining with sand particles to form limestone…amazing….
Grass tress in the west are amazing….in the background is a sand dune that is as white as snow….
The banksia bushes are extraordinary.
Sunrise over our campsite at Lancelin.
Another shot of the Pinnacles dessert in Nambung NP. Despite the dessert, there exists an extraordinary and rich biodiversity…eagles, black cockatoos, numerous insects and reptiles that feed on them and so on and the limestone spires go on for kilometres.
Gotta love the WA sense of humour. Check this out….
This sign we found in a local park south of Geraldton….we were wondering what causes the explosions….dynamite? We had visions of a couple of council workers walking around..one with a match and the other with sticks of TNT…image the effect on the locals….reckon it wouldn’t just be the birds that get sent packing….
But what if they employed the RAAF instead….a low flying F18 with a 30 mm gattling gun perhaps….that’s a descent explosion especially if it breaks the sound barrier!
Anyway, the sign made our day.
Had to have some bike repairs in Geraldton. The chain was jumping off the front sprocket. Had to ride my spare bike, the Specialized. Eventually got to Revolutions Cycle shop who also replaced the rear cluster and chain. Reckon it was incredible that I got over 8000 km without repairs! Very cold riding into Perth so we need warmer clothes and wet weather gear. Just clocked up 8800 km and have raised 16000 for the foundation.
Staying with our friends in Rockingham, David and Frances Sutherland. David and I joined the RAN together when we were 15 years old. He is the president of Gideons in Australia. Spoke at his church campuses yesterday…it was great.
Adelaide in four weeks where we plan to take a week off. We are hoping there won’t be much rain going across the Nullabor….rain and the cold don’t mix all that well with cycling!
Cya and God bless you.
