This morning Anthony, Alexis and I headed to Gantheaume Point
to have a look, i had read that there are dinosaur footprints on the rocks and
it is an amazing place to visit and see the rock formations that the ocean has
created over time. We walked down and had a look, but the tide was high and the
signage says you can only see the dinosaur prints in low tide but are not
advised to go looking for them anyway, there was no way we would have seen them
with the tide as high as it was.
The rocks are incredible though, so unusual to
just see the red red rocks surrounding the waters edge, stunning to look at and
see the bluest water, reddest rock and whitest sand its a very pretty place to
visit. We sat and watched the water rush up against the rock and spill into the
air for a while, the force could be felt through all the rocks we were standing
on and it was amazing to see.
Mum and Dad went to buy another new tyre for the back of the
car to balance it out from the one that was put on the car at Ellenbrae and
hopefully help even more for the comfort of the trip
Dad and Anthony replaced the struts in dads car which didn’t
take too long and was painless so hopefully we are all good for the rest of the
trip now.
When we did our Kimberley Trip last time, we met a couple
Greg and Adele, we met them when we were stranded on the Great Central Road
after huge rain and hail closed the roads and then ran into each other again at
El Questro, we have remained in contact since and funnily enough are all
travelling through the area at the same time again, this time around we are
only able to catch up in Broome so we decided on lunch and it was lovely J
An easy afternoon and then we headed off the Town Beach at
5pm to find a spot at the viewing spot to see Staircase to the Moon and enjoy
the markets. It was busy but we found a good spot to sit and watch although we
had to make sure a few of us stayed put the whole time so no one took over our
spot, its a bit dog eat dog for this event really. It was so fantastic to see
the staircase to the moon, it was lovely and clear and lasted about 15 minutes.
Sadly we all had trouble trying to get good photos, Anthony was the only one
lucky enough to get some good shots after he played with the manual settings on
his camera, at least we got some and we got to see it which is what matters.
Off to Fitzroy Crossing tomorrow, 400kms approx but all on
sealed roads so easy trip.
