Indian Ocean Drive

 Oh dear, here I am having fallen behind again, but a lot has been happening and time has just got away from me.

So, after leaving Denham, we continue to head south and turned off the main highway onto the Indian Ocean Drive. It passes through some lovely little localities, except when the 'Welcome to Cevantes' sign looks like this.

Yes, seems like our run of great weather has run out and after 6 1/2 weeks on the road, the heavens opened up. We pulled into Cevantes for lunch at the Lobster Shack, and between where we parked the vans and the entrance to the Lobster Shack, we all entered it like drowned rats!

This was inside, so much improved from last time we were here (some 5 years ago). Now for what we ordered for lunch.

Anyone for some fresh lobster?

As you can imagine tis is a very big lobster fishing area.

From there it was off to see 'The Pinnacles' desert where goodness knows how long ago, these sandstone shapes evolved. It makes very interesting reading about them. The rain gave is a little reprieve here, but by the time we got back to the cars, it had started again.

From here we continued our journey south to our overnight stop at Lancelin, another little sleepy seaside village.

Well ...... let me tell you about our night in Lancelin. Oh my goodness!! The rain was just about horizontal and the wind! It was horrendous, and none of us had a good night. The vans were being buffeted something terrible. It was bitterly cold too.

Hopefully by the time we reach Perth/Fremantle tomorrow, it may have abated somewhat, but the forecast does not look good.

Will try and catch up  (again), 

'Til then
