As it was Sunday we had a slow start to leaving Perth deliberately so we could listen to another Simon Manchester podcast which was again very encouraging. We packed up and left for Yanchep to grab some groceries and then head north. We stopped along the way at Two Rocks where there was a great view back toward Yanchep and beyond…and the guys struck up a conversation with a bloke using a drone..

We were heading for Jurien Bay but had a few stops along the way looking for surf….but no real luck.

The landscape along the way was arid with hundreds of grass trees, white sandhills and farmland. A spectacular bank of storm clouds was gathering in the distance.

The Pinnacles desert was the next stop along our way…it was an amazing site…a “forest” of fossilised tree roots projecting out of the desert sand…lots of interesting shapes and sizes….and Trev had forgotten his water so had some difficulty 😎Where was Branch when you need him?? Nowhere to be found….

Leaving the Pinnacles we drove to Jurien Bay, had a quick look

and then headed out to our free camp spot for the night – Sandy Cape Recreational Park. Huge sandhills surrounded the area as we drove past a limestone and sand mine via a dirt road to get to the park. We were fortunate enough to get a group site for $10 per couple for the one night…the caretakers on site were very accommodating!

Rose and Dave had another fridge issue – it appeared the gas line was blocked so it wouldn’t ignite..Kerry and Gordon had a go….Trev went in again (this time with a plum in his mouth??) – the issue was sorted…Branch came to light….was this why he was not at the Pinnacles tour??

We set up for the night and enjoyed Sunday roast on the Webers….delicious 😘

The guys did the washing up…a marathon effort which seemed to take it’s toll on some of them 😂
