Once set up we decided we needed
some exercise, so we choose to walk to ‘The Shack’, the private beach attached
to the station, approximately 1.5km away. We were blown away by the stunning,
rugged beauty of the coastline and the amazing sand dunes behind the beach. We
hadn’t seen sand dunes like these since we were small children growing up in
the Shire, where we rode the sandhills of Kurnell on pieces of cardboard!
The next day we packed a picnic lunch, lowered the tyres on the 4WD and headed north along the beach track to Pelican Point, a distance of 12km’s. We gathered the Cool Cabana, backpacks with food, water and snorkelling gear and walked about 1km down the beach. The sand and water were stunningly beautiful! Turquoise blue ocean, powder soft, white sand and no one about!!! Heaven! We set up the beach shade and spent 3 hours in paradise. We did duck into the water a few times to cool off, staying very close to the shoreline. We had seen a 1m shark swim by earlier and there were several small manta rays close to the edge – so we weren’t too keen to venture past knee deep – each one keeping an eye out while the other one got wet…. that suited us.
We ended a magic day by stopping off at Steven’s Beach on the
way back to the station to watch the sun dip into the Indian Ocean – you just
can’t get enough of these beautiful WA sunsets!
