The Bridge
Leaving
Kalbarri we took the coastal road along the
cliff tops, stopping at every headland and
lookout. The area offers spectacular scenery with massive waves smashing the
red cliffs below. Some interesting landforms such as Natures Arch made good photographic subjects for us (and the many Christmas holiday tourists we are now encountering!).
Leaving town this road took us south-west through the towns of
Port Gregory and Northhampton before reaching
Geraldton. Our first priority in
Geraldton was to find a windsurfer for hire for David. After the obligatory visit to the
Tourist Information Bureau, we found a windsurfing gear and repair
shop right on
the beach at Point Moore. No one was windsurfing, there was not enough wind. We got a map of the area and checked out all the sailing spots. Finally we chose to stay at the Sun City Caravan Park on one of the most popular windsurfing beaches - and it was full of campers with sailboards. The word was that no one had even been in the water for over a week. Cyclone Billy and Thelma were affecting the normally windy conditions in
Geraldton. We decided not to hire a board until the weather improved and hoped that would be tomorrow, according to the weather map interpretations at the local board shops.
