Part 2. More on the previous page.
Onwards to Duke of Orleans bay. This is Wharton Beach, you must go there.
Little Wharton.
A hearty lunch of noodles at little Wharton.
Parked on Wharton beach. This was really cool and I think national parks really need to see it (and never bloody touch it). Every one had the freedom to do what they want here, there were people fishing, riding motorbikes, surfing, s***loads of kids running around, plenty of dogs and most people were having a quiet beer ad cooking up a barbuque lunch. But none of it was chaos, everyone was doing the right thing and enjoying what must be Australia best beach. There's no rubbish, no idiots doing doughnuts, no drunken dumbshits, no one fishing where people are swimming ect. It just all worked and was very refreshing to see.
I'd also like to point out that even though there's lots of people, this place is really very remote.
From Duke we took a 4WD track through to Membinup Beach. It followed this creek most of the way and had a few semi challenging ruts and so on.
At Membinup there was this boat wrecked on the rocks. Pity the turbo was seized!
We camped at Alexander bay. Nice enough place, it looks like quite a few people have been camped here for months. Another morning swim to wash the sweat and dust off.
A few KMs down the gravel roads to Tagon beach
Little Tagon
Dolphin Cove
Thomas River. How nice is it cruising in a MWB on a hot day with the back windows opened up!
Onwards to Cape Arid National park.
I discovered the best trick ever. Always losing your rear valve caps? They screw on to the axle studs! The threads are different but it's enough to make it stay there.
The beach near the old Hillsprings Homestead.
Jorndee creek Beach.
