We packed up aiming to leave Denham at around 0800 as we had a fair distance to travel to Quobba today.

Exiting Denham Seaside Caravan Park, we met just outside Denham and commenced the journey planning to stop at Wooramel Roadhouse for fuel and coffee…

They were fairly friendly at Wooramel as long as you were a happy customer…..

The next planned stop was Carnarvon for groceries and other supplies as the next 6 days we would be off-grid…

Carnarvon has grown since the last time we were here – the foreshore has been further developed…. We stopped and had lunch overlooking the water….

There were 2 memorials on the foreshore – one to the HMAS Sydney II….

And one to the Kormoran (the German ship that battled the HMAS Sydney II – both were sunk).

The “Shelton’s Corner” shop was still there so I had a pic taken standing in front of it – for you Dad!!

As we left Carnarvon we drove through farms of mangoes and bananas – reminiscent of the Sunshine Coast in QLD….

We drove on from Carnarvon – the land becoming increasingly barren with mesas rising our of the dry and dusty plains…

The road in to Quobba is sealed – we drove past Quobba Lighthouse – a lonely beacon in an otherwise vast expanse of scrub…and in the distance we could see the Quobba Blowholes were really working as the swell was huge!

At the “King Waves Kill” sign we were to go right to Quobba Station but we decided to do a quick photo stop at the blowholes as they were going off!!

Dave got a too little close for Rosie’s comfort but he was OK… the blowholes were impressive!!

We checked in to Quobba Station, our home for the next 3 nights and set up camp….unfortunately Beryl was feeling a little worse for wear after coming down with a sore throat which seemed to be developing into a nasty cough… fortunately RAT negative 😊….

The moon was almost full so I had another go at taking some pics which turned out a bit better than those at Denham….
