Gnaraloo

Days 58-60, Sunday 8- Tuesday 10 August

The ‘Blowholes’ north of Carnarvon

Sunday Morning, good long walk around the delta of the Gascoyne River Mouth, followed by a good Brekkie at the end of the old ( now decrepit) railway pier. Then headed back north, past the ‘blowholes’ , through Quobba Station to Gnaraloo Station and their 3 Mile Camp on a lagoon adjacent to both the Southen end of the Ningaloo Reef and the somewhat famous ‘Tombstones’ break.

Looking South at 3 Mile in the direction of Tombstones

A great campsite , around 100 metres from the beach with awesome views and a stiff breeze to keep the flies down . After setting up it was time for a walk and swim. Sunset that evening was probably the best one yet – that is saying something as WA has really turned it on.

Next day spent walking , exploring and beaching ( yes, that’s a word). Having neither a surfboard or much ability we gave Tombstones a miss from the water side- maybe a future project 🤔. Those out on the break seemed to be having a good time of it .

Leisurely pack up on Tuesday morning, then a quick walk on the beach prior to heading south again. Plan is for two nights at Wooramel Station in the Gascoyne Region prior to more coastal activities at Monkey Mia.
