Cliff Head North - Free Camp

We were quite happy to leave Greenough and head to our next camp.... Cliff Head North.    We did the "grey nomad" thing & stopped for our lunch in a beautiful bay in Dongarra & headed to the lookout!

The 3 vans stopped at the Lookout in Dongarra.  The Wilkins, The Kratz & Smail's!

Sue, Patty & Kathie at the lookout in Dongarra

One interesting stop we had was to see 4 Dingo's...   Much to my horror we went in an enclosure similar to the one this picture & had to stand in a line & let the dingo's sniff us!!     I think one liked the taste of my melting moment biscuit I had just had for morning tea........ However the dingo's in this picture were howling so Patty & I decided to stay on the other side of the fence while the others went in!

This is our camp at Cliff Head North which was right on the beach again.....we were sheltered from the afternoon sea breezes by the cliffs in the background and as you can see the weather has now got warmer again.....

 However, we did have some visitors during the night.... these wild goats came down to our camp and went through Kathie's rubbish bin.    Patty & Kel stayed in this camp on their way up from Bussleton & while they were camped here, someone fired a shot over their van & shot one of the goats on the hill, it fell down the cliff behind their van,  it was hung it up in a tree & carved it up into chops.    Patty declined the chops when they were offered to her!!

Our fabulous camp oven roast..... beef & pork in the camp ovens & potatoes in alfoil behind the ovens!!!  We had a great camp meal together which will be our last for awhile as we are all heading in different directions in the morning!!

I know this photo is dark but if you look closely under the chair you will see coals from the fire.     We were told if you put coals under your chair it warms the rest of your body.... & true to their word it is amazing!!!  

The van finally gets its first clean since leaving Adelaide.    Because water is precious up here no parks will allow you to clean your car or van, but Tony used the last of our water in our tanks in the van to wash it at Cliff Head.    It feels like we are in a new van again!  Yeh!!!! & I don't get dirty clothes everytime I lean on the van!

The Spangled Emperors part ways at Cliff Head North & say goodbye!!!

There were a few tears here as we said our goodbyes.....  we have been travelling together for 1 month now & shared many experiences & stories together ..... my shark ring will remind me of the fun times we have had together.   We will miss their company but we're sure we will see each other again & definitely keep in contact!
