Kalbarri Part 2 - Quad Bikes

One of the highlights of Kalbarri was our Quad Bike Tour at Wageo Beach.

After brief instructions on how to drive our quad bikes we travelled a short distance from the Homestead through gentle dunes and onto the beach.   After the initial nervousness & getting used to the bikes we all began to enjoy the ride (incase you don't recognise who is on the bike..... it is me!!!)

 

We are looking a little more confident here.... Patty & Kel, Sue & Tony & John & Kathie.

We headed South  along the beach taking in the spectacular views, then it was off the beach & back into the rolling dunes, following each other up a razor-back dune overlooking a steep drop to dense bush vegetation in front of the beach.

After 2 hours of driving along the beach & sand dunes it was time for our morning tea break.   We headed back north along the beach and stopped by a lagoon on the beach for homemade sandwiches, cakes, tea & coffee.     Very nice........

I am not sure what was in the cakes as Tony started planking.........

John thought he was on a side car.........

.

As did Kel...........................

I did it...... our tour guide found a safe part of the beach for the girls to have a go driving as we were a little nervous!!!     Once I went a few kms I felt quite confident, but still would have been worried in the dunes driving in the soft sand.

We headed 3 km North along the beach to more challenging tall dunes.   It was definitely the pinnacle of the afternoon & after the gradual increase in challenges it was a thrill to ride up the last steep dune & reach the top to see the spectacular views.    Kathie, Patty & I standing on the edge of the large dune we had just ridden up!

Whatever was in the cakes for morning tea hasn't  quite worn off yet  & they were our drivers!!

We drove along the whole bay in the background of this photo and through the sand dunes....... We had an absolute ball & felt quite energised after 4 hours of riding the Quads!!!!
