On Sundays theres not a whole hellish amount to be done here. Its not quite as bad as when we first arrived, the local wholesalers is open so we can get food which is good for a sudden MUST HAVE BBQ – GET BURGERS impulse. But what Sunday is good for is heading off to the beach.
So, we headed up to Lancelin. We had been there a couple of times, the sand is beautiful, the water is lovely, its all good. So, icebox packed with some fruit and, more importantly, wine and beer and cola we set off. Set up on the beach and chilled. Dad wandered off taking pictures (this is a recurring theme) and the rest of us had a swim 🙂
We dried off, dad rejoined us and we sat for a bit having a very civilized (but illegal) drink on the beach. Then it was time for another swim
We packed up and headed back down the road, but spotted a sign for Moore River on the way back. I had been told it was somewhere nice to see, so we veered off and headed that way instead. Well worth the detour, it was a really pretty place.
You can see the river doesnt actually flow into the ocean – theres not enough water! So, thats as far as it gets. I guess during the winter when the river is higher it will, but for now, you can stand on that sand bar and have a river on one side, and an ocean on the other.
They also have free to use gas barbies there. Someone was cooking sausages. Apparently the smell was making everyone else hungry. Certainly the idea that someone was cooking sausages was enough to make me hungry.
