Day 86: Shark Bay to Kalbarri
Another travelling day today. We stopped into the Denham visitors centre and the "little shop" for one last look around before heading south again.
On the way back to the main highway we stopped at Hamelin Pools to try and see the stromatolites. Even though the tide wasn't very low we could still use binoculars to see some of them sticking up out of the water. After looking at the stromatolites we walked along the shore towards the old Hamelin Station, and its shell brick quarry, before circling back to the car.
As we headed further south we started to see fields of flowers along the side of the road - including white everlastings near our petrol stop at Billabong Roadhouse.
For our stay in Kalbarri we camped at the Big River Farm. The property used to be a horse farm but it is now up for sale. There are still a few horses, dogs, cats, and peacocks around. The kids were excited to have the pool and playground right near our site and made good use of them before dinner.
