After a pleasant night at Sandy Cape we’ve started to formulate a plan for the next week or so.
Today we continued our journey up the coast to Geraldton where we will spend the next couple of nights at the Big4 site at Sunset Beach. Before setting up camp we took a trip into Geraldton for a supermarket and bottle bank run so we gave enough supplies for the next 7 days. North of Geraldton it will become harder to re-stock so we need to get into the habit now of restocking when we can. We’ve also filled all 3 water containers with drinking water so we can get used to storing 3 rather than 2 full containers.
Tomorrow I’ll give the 90 a good check over and then on Monday morning we hope to find a suitable garage where we can get the propshafts greased and fix any issues I might find that I don’t fix tomorrow.
Assuming all is sorted we’ll then head up to Kalbarri National Park where we will cut inland before heading up to Hamelin and Monkey Mia. If we can we need to be away from Monkey Mia for Friday as the school holidays will almost certainly mean it will start getting stupidly busy after then.
We want to head towards Exmouth and Karijini National Park but haven’t precisely figured out when that will be or how we’re going to get to them both yet ! With the two week school holidays combined with Anzac Day and Easter we’re not sure how hard it’s going to be to get where we want to, when we want to. It may be that it won’t be too bad that far north…
