The oldest living things on the planet
Day 37 (Wednesday 27-May-09, NJJ)
Up early and on the road. We drove for a time, off the main highway, towards Kalbarri National Park but changed our mind and decided to skip this route until on the way back. It was roughly 150km one way out of our way and we have a 3000km limit which sounds like a lot but when you think that it's 2400km return from Perth to Exmouth we need to watch how much we defer from the main highway. I had a sleep again en route but I did have a 'bardy' belly so fair enough. Had a milkshake stop for Jay at the Billabong Roadhouse. At Hamelin Pool Telegraph Station we visited the Shell Quarry, and the Stromatolites which are apparently the oldest living organisms on earth. On the way to Shark Bay World Heritage area we stopped at Shell Beach and Eagle Bluff (both scenic stops) and ended up in Denham for the night. Usual pasta and Underbelly in the evening but the big event had to be Jay completing the Tetris Single Marathon on the DS Lite.
