We packed up early, so Glen could finish the other wheel (bearing repack) which the tent covers. We continued on the Coolimba – Eneabba Road towards the coast.
We passed a salt lake and it was like a winter wonderland !
I should have filled a jar full of it for a body scrub (rats). No snow angel, just where I stepped.
The high salinity in WA is amazing. We noticed a lot of houses near the coast suffering from salt corrosion.
There was no name on our maps for the salt pans and it didn’t appear that they were being mined.
We then turned south to Leeman, Green Head, Jurien Bay and on to Cervantes.
Green Head beach was full of seaweed you could smell it as you drove along the highway. It is so bad that they use a tractor to collect it off the beach.
It was a sleepy fishing village.This is what happens, when your motor stalls near the reef. Quite a few spectators, a big event in town. It was “squishing” day – breaking it up to take to the dump.
We stopped for lunch at the park overlooking Dynamite Bay and found this young shingleback lizard having a drink of water under the beach shower which was dripping. He/She then toddled off back under the beachside bushes. They are called bob tail lizards over here – you can see why.
Below a panorama of Dynamite Bay – almost circular bay.
Jurien Bay has a series of bays and off shore islands which have a Sea Lion colony.
It is a very pretty place. Windy with lots of sea weed, but I think we have visited at the wrong time of year with the wind driving the seaweed to shore.
This is a popular area and it is named the turquoise coast.
We headed further south to Cervantes to camp.
