The Mrs and I decided life is far too short to not go away for the Australia Day weekend so here is a post....
Car all packed up Thursday night and we left after work on the friday to head up to the Green head/Jurien Bay Marine park area. After a quick crumbed sausage it was up Wanneroo road for a few hours and boy was it packed... Lucky we had a secret spot away from the crowds.
Brilliant track conditions not too boggy put the tyres down to 20/22 and we were cruising through.
Made camp 20m from the beach behind a bit of cover and hit the hay after some quick stargazing... no pictures as we figured we still had plenty of time, how little we knew.
Woke up to an amazing beach completely to ourselves for 4 or 5Kms each way so we swam, snorkelled and nearly walked the 22km to Green Head. The beach was perfect to drive on, however the tide was unpredictable being new moon but still no dramas. 39 Celsius and we were loving it. Except the Bees, I don't mind bees but having a whole hive follow you up and down the beach is pretty annoying.
4 o'clock rolls around and the weather starts coming in. Still in high spirits we call it time on the beach and retreat to play Top trumps and poker with dinner and few drinks whilst the rain settled in for the night.
Blowing its hole off all night and some evening visitors we slept in until 8 had a slow rise in the rain and headed off to make some trouble in the dunes.
Our most unfavourable part of the trip time to air up and head home.
Thanks for reading.
