Day 45 - Beaching & Kite Surfing

• Ellendale Pool - Dongara
• 134kms
• 27°c

These flies are terrible! so we're moving on today.  We got school out of the way early today so we can just cruise for the rest of the day.

 

It really is a lovely spot except for the millions of flies and the deadly waters!

We stopped in Geraldton for a play on the dunes and a spot of kite surfing for Neale. Boy was it windy! It was what I imagine the sand blowing across the desert would be like, whipping at your ankles.

Neale made it look so easy, up and over the waves and he was off!

It was late afternoon before we left so we decided to stop at a "real" free camp for the night just out of Dongara.  The sun was setting as we pulled into what was really just a larger than normal service lane that was to be our camp for the night.  We drifted in and out of sleep to the sounds of the trucks on the highway!

Dongara Rest Area, $free, no power, no water, no toilets, no nothing!!
