We intended to pass by the "Principality of Hutt River", but decide to leave it till the return-to-Perth trip in a couple of weeks. This province, comparable to the size of Hong Kong, seceded from Australia on 21 April 1970 and counts 13.000 citizens. I would have liked to meet Prince Leonard, who also runs the post office and stamps passports at the immigration. Very bizarre ....
The costal road to Kalbarri is very scenic. We pass through part of the National Park and take time to take many a dust road to the Ocean. Beautiful view on red cliffs and white beaches - and the ever so blue Indian Ocean. The wind is strong and leaves salt in the hair and on the skin.
Between three campsites, we chose "Anchorage" with view on the Murchison river, which is the third longest in Australia (680 kms) and very large here, at the river mouth.
Hans treats us to a real bed, on bathroom and air condition. What a welcome luxury after the last weeks of climbing the ladder.
As an extra, there is a big and clean pool just in front of our "home".
Lunch at "The Gorges Café " -
- and dinner at "The Jetty Seafood Shack". Very tasty Pink Snapper with coleslaw. Served on a piece of paper with two plastic forks ! The wine is BYO (bring your own) and as it is our own, it is of course excellent.
What an amazing set-up. A local customer says, it's the best fish in town.
