Day 67. Today we are going on a day trip with Ross and Robyn up to the tip of Cape Peron in the Francois Peron National Park. First stop the old sheep station preserved in the Peron Heritage Precinct, historic old shearing sheds and buildings but the hot natural tub too hot at 40 degrees. Let the tyre pressures down to the recommended 20psi and then we were sliding and bouncing along the soft sandy track for the next 45km over the scrub covered giant red sandhills. Reaching the Cape we were amazed at the beauty of this wild coast with its brilliant red cliffs, white sandy beaches and blue azure waters. The view down Shark Bay from Skipjack Point was breathtaking, giant schools of trevally and mullet, black manta rays and a lone dolphin below us. Back down the sandy track we stopped at Bottle Bay for a picnic lunch and fishing from the beach - two whiting caught for our van freezer. Our last stop at the Gregories, another beautiful white sandy beach on the Denham Sound side for more fishing and turtle watching. Getting late so we pushed on down the track and inflated the tyres for the run into Denham. Dinner tonight at the Shark Bay Hotel and a farewell drink with Ross and Robyn as we are moving on ahead of them tomorrow to Geraldton. Drove 100km, weather mild 22 degrees, thunderstorms have passed over without rain yet again.
