The view from my window

Cabin bound due to a cold front coming though - currently 30 knots, gusting to 37 knots and there is a severe weather warning for destructive winds right the way up the coast to where we are located.  I hear thunder as I write.

The view from my window

The waves are up....the water next to the road is the Murchinson River and the other is the sea.

Winds gusts as high as 111 kilometres per hour have been recorded at Busselton Jetty this morning and 106 at Rottnest Island this afternoon.....sounds like a cyclone to me.

We decided to drive the couple of blocks to fill the truck up with fuel and to get some petrol for the generator because when we arrived here seven days ago there was a power failure and we were told we could use our generator but didn't need to because not only were our batteries fully charged but the power came on shortly after we had arrived.

Funny though, we drove through a cold front on our way here.  We watched the temperature gauge go down in the car....,20c....19c .....down to 16c  in a matter of a few kilometres.

Other travellers had told us about Kalbarri, saying that we should not miss it, but the day we came in, it was overcast, windy and generally dreary looking.

But, it is actually a beautiful hidden little gem......unless  you live in WA and you fish of course.
