Made it to the Westernmost Point of Australia
We went to Steep Point (the most westerly point of Australia). On the way there we saw a lot of wildflowers and we took a lot of photos of them. We got to the most Westerly Point, but I don’t get it, because the sign is in a spot, but you get still get further west to the edge of the cliff. Had to let the air out of our tyres to 20psi so that we could get traction on the sand. We also risked a fine of $25 if or when the ranger checked the tyres.
We drove back and stopped at False Entrance to see the blowholes and then we drove out. It was a long day, because it was over 320km’s round trip.

We drove to Kalbarri National Park which had a lot of lookouts. Ross Graham (he was a local teacher), Hawkshead Look, Z-Bend and The Loop. I tried to push Dad off one of the lookouts, but he was too strong. Only kidding as the photo shows. Nature’s window is at The Loop. It is a natural formation of sandstone - with a hole like a window. My Mum was scared all the way there.

20psi or risk a Fine sign


On the way to Coronation Beach we stopped for an echidna crossing the road, as we did not want it under our tyre. It moved very fast to get away from us when we had the camera. He must be camera shy!
