Stopped for Morning tea at Greenough to celebrate Angel’s 2nd birthday (things we find to amuse ourselves on long car rides!). Nearby we stopped to take photographs of some of the horizontal gum trees, a testament to the strength of the winds in the area.At Geraldton we went to the WA museum which was well worth a visit. We loved the story of the wreck of the Batavia and the blood thirsty goings on that happened thereafter.
Kids were fascinated by the bad guy getting his hands cutoff and then having to be executed by hanging. 
There was also an excellent exhibit detailing the story of the HMAS Sydney that went down off the coast with 645 sailors and no survivors. We had lunch at the HMAS Sydney Memorial overlooking Geraldton. Arrived in Kalbarri in the early evening. The feeling of warmth was noticeable and a nice change from the cold evenings we had been having since Sydney. Hot weather…look out here we come!
