Day 41 - Playdays

• Geraldton
• 28°c

Another easy day around camp, got some housekeeping done, washing etc knowing that we'll be heading off shortly to a spot with no power or water.

Didn't see much of Ella & Oscar today they were too busy off and about playing with Aliyah & Bodhi.

It's really great they've found some friends to play with and they are such great kids too.

The girls set up a day spa, quite reasonable prices and we were treated to massages, pedicures, manicures & hot crystals!

Day 40 - Geraldton... again

• Coronation Beach - Geraldton
• 52kms
• 26°c

Slow start to this morning knowing that we didn't have far to drive to the next camp spot. 

As we were packing up camp we met a german couple Klaus & Inga that are over here on the West Coast for 3 months chasing the wind - kite surfers.  We exchanged details and will hopefully catch them in December down the coast.

After checking out the other caravan park in town which was almost on the Port itself, we decided to go back to the Big4 we had stayed at last time.  After dropping off the van we headed into town as Steve was in desperate need of a haircut and was lucky to find an awesome little rockabilly barber shop. 

We had been messaging Lizette, Neale, Bodhi & Aliyah who were heading into Geraldton to try and meet up and were greeted by an awesome surprise when we returned to the caravan park to find them camped next to us - Stalkers!! We spent the afternoon and evening hanging out and enjoying the company of our new friends. Who would've thought i'd find a friend on the road that also thought it necessary to bring her sewing machine and fabric stash along too?!

Day 39 - Still at the beach

• Coronation Beach
• 24°c

Another quiet day hanging at the beach camp!

We waved goodbye to our new friends but exchanged details and hope to catch up in Geraldton. 

Day 38 - New Friends

• Coronation Beach
• 23°c

Another day just hanging out and playing.

We met a lovely family that are travelling Australia in the same direction as us.  We have quite a lot in common and before we knew it Ella & Aliyah were having their own little crafternoon! 

Windy afternoon, perfect for kitesurfing!

Day 37 - Just Chilling

• Coronation Beach
• 26°c

Spent the day chilling, just hanging out at the beach & enjoying the quiet of this beautiful spot

 

Day 36 - Supplies

• Coronation Beach
• 23°c

This morning we waved off Gary, Shell & Piper as they were heading into Geraldton for a few days before moving on to Perth. Gary spoilt Ella & Occy with an icy pole after breakfast! why not?!

Ella & I headed into Geraldton for groceries and couldn't pass by two of our favourite shops!

Day 35 - Coronation Beach

• Coronation Beach
• 23°c

Eagle Eye Gary spied a van pulling out of a great spot early this morning and helped Steve do a quick pack up and moved us in to our new site, which much to our delight made us neighbours again! 

We spent a lot of the day at the beach, the water was cool but Ella & Oscar didn't seem to mind. 

Steve caught 2 Australian Herrings that were size but that was about it!

We were joined by Gary, Shell & of course Piper who is just adorable. Ella & Oscar are quite taken with him, I think we're all missing Indie that bit more having a dog around.
We are so very lucky to have made such lovely friends in Gary & Shell - Grey 8 and look forward to catching up as we travel this road around Australia.

Such a great spot, awesome view from the lookout tower built by the local prisoners and Tafe students!
