Cervantes

School holidays have now started so there are kids & people everywhere.........  

After saying goodbye to friends at Cliff Head North we slowly made our way down to Jurien Bay.    Would be a nice place to stay for a few days.    We hit the local bakery for a pie & sat with friends we had met at the previous camp (Trudy & Hugh from Tasmania).  A quick check of the local butcher and then off to Cervantes.

After setting up camp we had a quick drive around town to get our bearings and as there are only a handful of shops this didn't take long (Interesting though  Lyn's Licka Store sold alcohol, panadol, DVD's & lollies) & the only Cafe in town is in our Van Park!

Saturday was spent watching the Footy Finals & catching up on blogging (footy started at 11:30am here because of the time difference) and then we headed off to the Pinnacles.

     On first glance the Pinnacles make you feel like you have just stepped into a painting.     They are quite spectacular & we were amazed at how big & how many there were!   This is one tourist attraction they allow you to drive around......

Tony was happy - he found his large Pinnacle!!!!


The 4km journey around never ceased to amaze us...... 

We headed back to camp to meet up with friends, Trudy & Hugh & walked over to the Country Club for a Seafood Platter for 2 ($55).   Very nice..... lobster, oysters, scallops, prawns, fish & chips!!!

The weather was starting to change as you can see in the background so after a leisurely breakfast of Bacon & Eggs we had a stroll along the beach before the rain set in.



After our stroll I talked Tony into heading for the blue building in the background (Sea Shells Cafe) for coffee & scones with jam & cream.......Yum!!  Just behind the playground is our Caravan Park.  

I am writing this with the rain pouring outside so it will be an intesting morning packing up.... we head to Hyden (Wave Rock) for the night & have a 7 am start....... have to set the alarm!!!!...... not happy Jan!
