Well, I was going to leave home at 8, but then it became 9, but I did pull out of the BP with a full tank of diesel at 10! Headed up the freeway and then Wanneroo Rd/Indian Ocean Drive. Took a left into Yanchep National Park and just had a drive through and a couple of munzees, lol.  Also had a little teary session as it was one of the places I took Zack when he was ill and it was also where we had had our honeymoon!  Anyway, headed north again and took the road leading to the Gravity Discovery Centre. There are a couple of special munzees there, but of course, Monday is the only day they are closed!!!

Kept on that road until it got to the Brand Highway. Much quieter road to drive on, only one idiot overtaking on a double white line!! 20 km north of Cataby and the road into the station, 22 km of gravel. However got there a bit early so took the other gravel road up to Cervantes. Had a pie for a late lunch and headed back to the Station arriving just after 3.  Hot drive on the gravel, 38-40 most of the way, but the sea breeze had hit Cervantes and it was only 29 there. By the time I got to the Station the very strong wind was blowing, apparently quite usual. Lots of sand flying in the distance off the little desert around the Pinnacles.

Settled in and chatted with the caretakers, watched the mudlarks feeding their nest of babies up in the eucalypt, sheep grazing, galahs feeding, a visiting emu and the little flock of guinea fowl!  It’s quite dark out now, but looks like they have some fairy lights on the patio outside, I can see them through the back door.

If the wind has stopped in the morning then there’s a station tour they do which includes the pinnacles, but Sam says it’s quite a steep walk, so we will see. May just have to drive the 40 km around to see them on the level, LOL.  I had wanted to see a sunset there, but from the number of kangaroos I saw on the road during a hot day, an evening drive would probably see a lot more.

I’m having issues loading the pictures, will see how tomorrow goes.
