Leave Carnarvon for the first fuel Wooramel Roadhouse then onto Billabong Roadhouse where the walls were covered in pictures of many tattoos, we did not actually know the significance of the photos and did not ask, but the owner of the Roadhouse gave $200 to the Foundation.
They actually had a full size eagle in a glass enclosure, I am keen to get a photo of the ones on the road that actually stare you down as you pass, they do not fly off they watch as you have to go onto the wrong side of the road to get away from them , they are very big and we have only seen one so far but we have both agreed that when we see the next one that refuses to budge we will stop and photograph it.
Arrived at Geraldton about 12.30 and had lunch with the local Police who put on a BBQ which seems a contrast to the Police in Rockhampton and Mt Isa who went out of there way to book everyone they could.
We had a few sausages on bread and soft drinks, local TV Stations came and interviewed a few key members and while writing this we saw ourselves on the local news.
We then left for the accommodation at the African Reef Resort, we are looking for the African part and also the Resort side of things, the only wildlife so far is an insect crawling up the wall behind the TV.
All in all the day was an easy ride and most felt happy to be moving down the west coast closer to Perth.
Total Klm's 8,576
