I pack a couple of salad rolls and cold water into our picnic esky and Jan and Alan meet us at 8:45am ready to embark on our day of sightseeing.
We head out along the main road, pay our fees at the Park Office, before coming to a dirt road where it leads to the most pristine beach we had ever seen. The sand was powder white and the water was a beautiful pale aqua changing to a darker blue further out to sea.
At Wylies Beach Jan and Nick couldn’t resist and had to have a swim. With the temperature around 19 degrees, a little cold for Alan and I but maybe with the sun beating down it would warm up during the day.
Next stop was Frenchman’s Peak (the equivalent to Mt Warning) with many people walking up to the summit. A quick photo shoot and then onto Hellfire Bay. This time Alan and I joined Nick and Jan for another swim and despite the cold was very refreshing.
We drove around all the beaches to Thistle Cove. More photos and then we head to Condingup Tavern for Orleans Bay Snapper and cold beer.
After lunch a visit to Lucky Bay (where they do all the advertising) 1 more quick swim and then onto Little Wharton Beach. We think the West Australians have reason to boast they have the best beaches. We can’t decide which is the nicest though.
We arrive home to Lucy who is so excited to see us. She has been cooped up in the van all day – and although she had plenty of fresh air we feel we need to take her out for a long beach walk. She has forgiven us we are sure as she runs and plays in the ocean and on the sand.
Jan and Alan phone us to say they will leave early in the morning and will see us in Kalgoorlie in a day or two.
