Here we are, already half way through the second month of the year, and I haven't finished the report of our trip to the west. In the last trip post, we were based at Northampton for 2 nights prior to a day trip to Kalbarri..............
It was New Year's Day, the first of January and the weather was forecast to be HOT. We left the van at Northampton and headed through country to Kalbarri, via the coastal road............
We saw the signs to many mining sites, one being a garnet mine. This is the Pink Lake, which covered a big area........
We stopped at a lot of coastal areas, beaches and cliff areas...............
...............until we reached the town of Kalbarri.
We parked in a shady spot in the town to eat the lunches that we had packed.
Next stop was the the Kalbarri skywalk, in the Kalbarri National park.
....(not a real emu)............
It was very HOT by the time we reached the skywalk, and you probably could have fried an egg on the footpath................
There is 2 platforms and you can see the second one in the following photo, and just how far out over the edge that it sits!!!
This photo has been taken from the internet site, and gives you another perspective of the platform.
We did not spend a lot of time on the skywalk, because it was so hot, and were very thankful that there were icecreams in the engel freezer in the car. This was the first icecream I had eaten for more than 2 years!!
We drove back to the van at Northampton through the national park, (which had cost us $17 to enter.)
After a good night's sleep with the air con on all night, it was time to head in the direction of home. (insert sad face).
I will be back soon with Part 5.
Blessings, From Jude

You’ve brought back lots of memories of our trip around there in 2022. It’s a stunning landscape. Ice creams would have been much appreciated with your hot weather.
Bet you enjoyed that ice cream!
