Day 12 1/8/2018, The End

A leisurey breakfast then off to the airport, had some delay getting there due to roadworks and the GPS avoiding all the petrol stations but after some backtracking all was in order, returned the Outlander and made our way to the await our plane. We traveled 3,843Km in WA and the Outlander used an average of 9.63litres of petrol per100Km.
Plane was full but Maritta managed to get our seats changed to the window. Plane left Pertth at 12:30 (WA time).

WA coast, somewhere near the SA border according to the flight map

Islands just off the coast as we head of out into theBbite

Arrived in Melbourne about 6:10 (Vic Time) to rain, got a bit wet finding the car in the long term car park.
Got home about 8:00pm which wasn't to bad considering the weather and road conditions.

Till next time, D&M.

Day 9 Saturday 28/7/18 After a leisurely breakfast whilst the "hordes" were watching the Dolphin feeding then a quick look around before boarding the “Aristicat 2” for a tour of the bay. Sun was shining although it was a cold breeze out on the water.  Maritta donned her puffer jacket and Dale should have taken his coat but survived the experience. Sighted two dugongs where the first was apprently asleep.  When asleep they have to keep coming up for air and half of their brain is active as they must consciencously remember to breathe.  The other came up right under the boat and was not impressed swimming off in disgussed.  Unfortunately we didn’t have the camera ready...the look was priceless.  Sighted several dolphins, some playing around the craft, and 2 loggerhead turtle (missed that photo as well...). Dolphin swims passed our room Crowd at the dolphin experience, their biggest crowd was 720 apparently, glad we weren't there that day. Most dolphins

Day 11 Monday 30/7/18 Today marked the end of our special journey....so sad...but so worth it.  Left Kalbarri heading for an overnight stay in Perth and fly home tomorrow. Leaving Kalbarri we visited a few more lookouts on the way out of town including the Pink Lake. There are a lot of picturesque walks in the area but we only had time to do a couple of the shorter ones.  Maybe next time - we plan on coming back preferably in our own car so we can explore more of the beaten track areas.  View off Red Bluff as above as above Pink Lake Pink Lake And again...Pink Lake We headed south with the intention of stopping in Geraldton where Maritta bought some black pearls (drop earrings and a rather stunning bangle) to celebrate her birthday. Coastal dunes on the road north of Geraldton The landscape continues to change... Now into farming country - canola starting to flower. Threatening skies as we approach Perth. A
