Resting at Streaky

Today was a rest day, that is, we didn’t move our caravan. After some domestic chores and more trip planning in the morning we went for a drive to see the local area attractions.

First was the “Westall Way Loop” which took us to many pretty (and empty) beaches and to the “Smooth Pool” – an area with lots of little rock pools where the kids had a ball.

Next attraction on the list was the only sea lion colony on mainland Australia at Point Labatt where over 60 beasts were lazing around
on the rocks below us but the stiff breeze meant we couldn’t stay for too long.

On the way back to Streaky we called in at “Murphy’s Haystacks” an ancient granite rock formation. The 1500 million year rocks are a collection of “Inselbergs”.Now we are getting ready to cross the Nullarbor – four days of driving before we arrive at Kalgoorlie where we are going to have another rest day.
