Somehow I think that the first few days of driving will be the most trying. After our first night sleep, well sortof sleep, in Lancelin just off the dunes where our unwisely chosen tent sites provided new terrain for sand dunes to form, we set off on a 4WD track. The Subo performed and performed some more, the Low-4 sent us through a labyrinth of sand dunes, beaches and outcrop between Lancelin and Cervantes, 5 hours to cover 80km. Luckily we found some guidance along the way in the form of a helpful local who laid some tracks for us along the soft beach. We unwound in a calm place to spend our second night just north of Jurien Bay.
We splurged on a campsite with showers the next night to wash off the sand from our hair and our ears.
The next nights were spent on the leeside of bushes and hills near the ocean. Kent and I have been learning constellations with our glow-in-the-dark chart to the sound of crashing waves and of wine beeing poured from a goon (bag of wine from box) into tin cups.
This morning Kent was selected among a small crowd to feed dolphins in Monkey Mia in the UNESCO World Heritage site of Shark Bay. We're currently in Dunham, which will springboard us into the Francois Peron National Park and onto the famous stromatolites of Shark Bay.
