Galena Bridge to Kalbarri

We are now in the coastal town of Kalbarri, which is situated on the mouth of the Murchison River. Kalbarri has a permanent population of approx. 1500, but it attracts around 200,000 tourists each year. The town is geared to fishing and tourism. This time of the year the Western Australia countryside comes alive with lots of beautiful wild flowers and the Kalbarri region is one such place that comes alive. Today I had a day on my own as Shane wanted to watch the Melbourne races. So I took myself off in the car to get some photos of the mostly tiny but amazing wild flowers.

 

With the end of October almost here don't forget to leave me a comment below

for your chance to go into the draw to win a piece of my chainmaille jewellery.

Here are just two that you will have a choice from.

 

Goodbye Onslow

Tomorrow we leave Onslow and head onto our next destination. I know we are heading towards Exmouth but not really sure where we will stay tomorrow night - somewhere in the middle of nowhere I guess. We have had to become a little more organised for the next couple of weeks as it is WA school holidays and apparently Perthites head north for the hols. Today was a pretty relaxing day although we did go out fishing for a while. I caught one and Shane got five but alas they were all undersize. I headed off down the beach to get yet some more sunset shots.

As it is now Spring all the wild flowers are starting to bloom in

WA so I thought I would share a few of them.
