Northampton, Jurien Bay and Pinnacles. October 6-8, 2013.

We took our time getting to Perth from Gnaraloo.
The frst night we all ended up staying at The Edge Resort in Kalbarri. We got a deluxe spa suite at a discounted rate and discovered we had a washing machine in the bathroom. Pure luxury after 14 days of camping!!! Dinner with Louisa, Besim and kids at the local pub.
We went for a couple of short walks in Kalbarri National Park, and of course it was stinking hot again.

'Nature's Window'.

Next stop for us was Northampton which boasts some nice historic buildings, but was a tad sleepy for us. The campground was surprisingly nice though, with personal touches everywhere.
The night before getting to Perth we stopped in Jurien Bay where it started pissing down around 5pm and didn't stop until after we were heading out the next morning. At least most of the accumulated dust from the past 2 weeks got washed off Sterlin.

After the rains kinda stopped the next morning we headed to the The Pinnacles, a surreal looking bit of desert. It had just stopped raining which meant the colors were very intense. You can do a 4.2km loop by car and get out and walk between the Pinnacles. The Visitors Center is worth a look as well.
