Never thought we'd get here!

We may have left the city, but we can't seem to escape the weather (not far North enough yet!). A strong frontal storm blew through on Monday 30th, and with us only being about 200m from the beach, copped the brunt of it. A lesson we learnt at the park in Perth was to bring in the awning in during high winds. In fact, we never put it out the whole time we were here. We did a bit of exploring namely to Greenough (pronounced Gren-uff) and the mouth of the Greenough River. A lot of the trees don't seem to get much break from the wind as they are all leaning over.
We also spent a day at Geraldton but found it to be an unremarkable place. We did go to see the Pinnacles (in the Nambumg National Park) which is a major tourist attraction, and lots of tour companies do day trips here from Perth.
Despite the weather, we really enjoyed our stay here.

Thought you would've remembered what the wind was like up that from your journey many years ago ans studying all the CB radio aerials (not to mention the serious guy cables on the TV ones). Great to see your having a good time BTW
