122. Port Gregory 2

MORE DELIGHTS



Kaz & I enjoying a rare moment together alone; this one enhanced with some barbequed crayfish.



ONE OF THE BEST


Port Gregory would have to be one of the best little havens around these parts. Like Horricks it has a protected lagoon courtesy of a reef that runs for about one kilometre parallel to the coast. Upon arrival our original thoughts were that this was a nothing town with little to offer & so we would stop over for just the one night. As I write this entry we are still here four days later. The place is rich in beauty, an awesome fishing paradise, the locals are among the friendliest you’ll meet. A fleet of four cray boats can be seen retuning to the port with their catch, a truck waits to take the crays to Geraldton for distribution to local restaurants, Australia & Asia.


WATERLESS PINK LAKE


We took off on a find & seek mission to discover the upper reaches of this massive lake. No water here, just tons of dried salt on a dead flat base. The wind howls across this land, the sun beats down & the glare is offensive to the eyes.



DANE ON LAKE


It was really worth the trip to experience the dried out lake bed. Dane enjoyed walking upon the flat, featureless salt pan.
