These are just 24hr resta areas along the North West Coastal Highway. After our night at Goulet Bluff Camp site we had morning coffee at the Overlander Roadhouse, then fueled up and had lunch, our own food in the van at the Billabong Roadhouse. Although we arrived at about 4.00 p.m. at Nerren Nerren we were still able to find a good campsite.

Overnight was very chilly, officially 6C, and had a very good view of the Milky Way.

This morning we took our time getting up and having breakfast. We didn’t leave until about 11.30 a.m. Sue and Ian, fellow Sherwood owners, came over to say Hello. They had just called in at Nerren Nerren and are on their way to the Kennedy Ranges and Mt Augustus.

We then drove about 75kms to Galena Bridge. This is a beautiful camping area, with lots of room both sides of the river. As it’s a designated stop over there are bins and drop toilets, as there were at Nerren Nerren. Our reason for stopping here is that we want to go to the Kalbarri Sky Walk tomorrow and it’s the nearest free camping to the National Park.

Also, it’s beautiful here and we have secured a spot close to the river, with a little path down to get a good view of the river and abundant bird life. We took a walk over the original bridge to the other side, which has notices with historical information about this area.

One of our neighbours has lit a fire, and we can enjoy it as well from our back window.

Stephen has had confirmation that he will be able to sing in the next WASO production, which means we are aiming to arrive home by July 7th. This actually works out well with what we want to do for the next week and gets us home just as the school holidays start.
