On the road to Jurien Bay....we stopped at Gregory to view the Pink lake (high on Charlotte's must see list). We were suprised how Pink the lake actually was - the pink colour is due to the algae stuck in the sand. At Jurien Bay the wind found us again. We were in a beautiful place right on the water, but I didn't even rig up the rods. The kids found the jumping pillow so they were happy.
We used Jurien Bay as a base to go and visit a couple of attractions in the area. The first was the limestone Pinnacles. They were a little underwhelming, but we ticked them off our "must see" tourist attractions list. We visited the stromatolites (look it up) on the way back to caravan park.
We decided to go to the Stockman Gully caves in the afternoon which meant more sandy rough roads. We let the tyres down and made it to the caves to find that we were the only people visiting. We went passed the sign warning of "feral bees" and went into the cave. Mel go the heeby jeebies and once we made it to the other end of the first of three caves and encountered a massive bee hive, we decided to about face and hot foot it back to the car.....after Will warned the newly arrived car that it was very dark in the cave and there were lots of very loud bees.
The kids had another play at the park by the beach and on the jumping pillow and we decided that Jurien Bay would be a very nice place to visit if you plan a holiday without the wind.
