Day 57 - Carnarvon to Galena Bridge Rest Area (358kms/4hrs) We had a lazy morning and Rog cooked bacon & eggs for breakfast. The kids had some downtime and Bronte did a physie practise.

We fuelled at Billabong Roadhouse and arrived at Galena Bridge South Rest area around 2:30pm. We had lunch then went for a walk to the river which ...

Day 56 - Point Quobba to Carnarvon (79km/1hr) We left Point Quobba at 7:40am and stopped briefly at the blow hole but it wasn’t very big and we spotted a few whale spouts.

Day 53 - Cape Range National Park (Bungarra) After a very windy night we were up early again to make the most of the mild mornings. We drove to the Oyster Stacks and were hoping to go snorkelling but the tide wasn’t high enough. While we were admiring the water we saw some fish and a little black tip reef shark. The travelling family that we caught up with yesterday met us there and we decided to go to Turquoise Bay instead. It was nice and sheltered from the...
