119. Geraldton - Horrocks Beach

GERALDTON SUNSET



Another Indian Ocean sunset.




CHARLIE


This lovely parrot was owned by a couple travelling. Charlie was a great companion for them & did not restrict as often some pets do. Charlie would not take easily to anyone but his owner but took quite happily to Dane. Dano was having not his best week, but Charlie took his mind off things for a while.



HORROCKS BEACH


Now that we were north of Geraldton the towns have become much smaller , more iscolated, even the landscape seems to have become more barren, hotter, yet wildly beautiful. Horrocks Beach is a small town on the ocean. In the hills behind there are a few farms, on the beach there are fisho’s shacks, houses & a fleet of three cray boats. Horrocks is a natural harbour that exists due to the outer reef that provides shelter to the lagoon.
