Day 15 - Road to the Coast

• Mt Magnet - Geraldton
• 344kms
• 26°c

Pretty quiet on the road today, not a lot of passing traffic, mostly road trains and a few caravans, all poppers, no big rigs like us!

These termite mounds were dotted along most of the highway so we decided to stop off for a closer look.  Well that didn't quite go to plan but rather ended in tears & tantrums!  For some reason rather than being amazed at this wonder of nature, they were both terrified! We didn't see a single termite or any other bug but Oscar was screaming about Bullyants & Ella about Red Ants.  That exciting educational lesson i had envisaged in my head sooo did not happen. We stopped again for a cuppa further on and whilst i was taking photos, Ella got adventurous and came for a look, not too close but what a huge breakthrough!

Yay, we saw a herd? group? gang? of emus on the side of the road just doing their thing, not at all bothered by the passing traffic.

I think we were all pretty happy to get out of the car today! A little bit of car crabbiness after travelling over 500kms a day for the past 4 days.  Will be nice to have a sleep in tomorrow!
