Day 43 - The Junkyard Gang!

  • Geraldton - Ellendale Pool
  • 92kms
  • 20°c
Introducing "The Junkyard Gang"! They spent the morning over at the junkyard whilst we packed up camp. They had found the area out the back of the caravan park yesterday afternoon and decided it was a goldmine of stuff!


Ella & Aliyah had built a sculpture of a lady out of old car parts and then decided to build a car which they were actually able to push each other around in.


They all had a great time sifting through junk, making stuff and just having a plain old great time, love it! That was until the caretaker told them they weren't allowed in there (perhaps it should've been sectioned off?) which was right about the time we were pulling out anyways.


A trip to the Museum was our education for today, it is quite a small museum but very interesting nonetheless.  It housed some Australian native animals, some early artefacts, a section on the "stolen generation" which was particularly moving - have got to find the movie "Rabbit Proof Fence" for us all to watch.



The Museum houses a large exhibition on the shipwreck of the Batavia, which was really interesting.



The wind farm on the way to Ellendale Pool, they have 54 wind turbines.


The girls up a tree, where else would they be?! Brutus looking for his new best friend Steve the Sausage Man!
