Coffin Bay National Park (2 nights)

The weather finally settled down so we headed to Coffin Bay National Park for some bush camping.  Brilliant spot, emu families wandering around, kangaroos grazing with their joeys on-board – mega cute!  There were lovely fairy wrens flitting about, the males are a brilliant blue.  We also found great wee dragons and heath monitors.   There were lovely beaches and it actually got quite hot in the sheltered bays!

Once again a social place with a family we had met in Perth turning up on the second night.  They had suffered a broken suspension leaf on their camper trailer since we saw them, some bolts had worked loose on a 4WD road we decided not to take!  We shared our campfire with a young French couple keen to enhance their English, and the boys wanted to enhance their French – “what’s French for weirdo?” ummm.
