* Took our time this morning, had another chat with the Swiss, changed the band-aid on my foot (looks not too bad!)
* Videoed Damien folding the tent.
* Left for the Cliff trail below Kalbarri.
* Stopped at Jacks Point to look at the surfers, big waves but not much action. Updated photo a day in between waves.
* Did part of Bigurda trail from Eagle Gorge but not too much as it is sand and small rocks (not ideal for my foot), the scenery does not change much and too many flies around.
* Had a look at Eagle Gorge Lookout then drove to Natural Bridge. Had lunch under a shaded area but flies still unbelievable... Did the broadwalk, sat and looked at the ocean and the waves crashing against the cliffs.
* Went to the other 2 lookouts before definitely leaving the area. Drove to Geraldton, got some petrol and kept going.
* Found a rest area by the ocean, arrived right in time for the sunset. Ate the remaining of our pasta, olive oil and grated parmesan.
* Built the tent a bit away from the car, on sand, right in front of the ocean :) great way to spend our last night!

* Tried to be up early but not as early as we wanted. On the road before 8am.
* Arrived at Kalbarri National Park and its first 2 lookouts around 9pm. View is good at the 1st one, the second one is pretty crap.
* Drove to The Loop, had breakfast in the carpark and started the 8km walk by 10.30. Were slow at 1st (getting use to be careful walking with my injured toe) but managed to do the whole walk in 3h! (suggested between 3 and 5).
* The Loop passes by Nature's Window (a hole in a rock - making a window shape), then you walk on the rim of a gorge for 3kms, go down in the gorge and walk along the Murchison River (rocks and sandy bank), you have to climb a bit at some places. No shade.
* After finishing The Loop we had lunch at the shaded picnic tables (sandwiches), then headed to another walk called Z-Bend (from the shape of the river).
* Went to the lookout together, but only Damien did the whole walk to the gorge. Waited for him back at the car with a book. Damien went a bit in the water, I took a nap.
* Drove to Kalbarri village to find a campsite for the night. Found space at the ranch (they have beautiful horses).
* Had showers and dinner. Talked a long while with French-speaking Swiss. Very interesting people.
* Went to bed quite late. It is our last night in a campsite.

* Got up around 7am. Tidied the tent and headed to the beach for our 2nd and last dolphin feeding.
* Did not get picked, that is life (a shame though!) Went back and had breakfast.
* Went for a long walk before leaving for Kalbarri.
* Got injured miles away from the campsite. A lot of blood (but no sharks).Took us a while to go back but luckily a family offered us to drop us with their small boat: lifesavers!
* Try to clean it, had a shower, reception of campsite useless left for Denham.
* Caught the pharmacist just before he left, was a big help, told us what to do.
* Had lunch on the sea front, then re-opened the wound to get it completely clean...
* Got rewarded with ice-cream!
* Stopped at Eagle Bluff lookout and spotted a ray
* Stopped at Shell Beach and got to walk on a beach made of billions of shells.
* Back on the road for Kalbarri, it is really late... 4.30pm
* Did not managed to go as far as we wanted but still drove a good distance. Rest area is busy but we easily found a place for the tent.
* Prepared the tent while Damien started dinner (crêpes)
* watched the stars for a while, then watched at all our photos on Damien's phone (re-lived all NZ and some of Australia) at some point moved to the tent and I fell asleep.

* Reached Carnavon and did some groceries.
* Ate at a lookout in the middle of nowhere
* Had a look at Hamelin Pool and the Stroglodite: microns that look like rocks (as old as dinosaurs).
* 4.30pm, arrived at D. and the Visitor Centre told us that the camping at Monkey Mia still had space available.
* Build our tent and went for a sunset walk on the beach.
* Saw dolphins, loads of then and so close to the shore! One of them was really friendly and got a dolfy with it (dolphin-selfy)!
