Cervantes, Kangaroos and Kalbarri

Busy day yesterday.  After vacating the apartment, picking up the camper van and raiding the local IGA supermarket, we set off north to Cervantes and our first stop over.  The camper is enormous compared to what we're used to at home and has all the luxuries: bathroom with shower, microwave, airconditioning and buckets of storage space (but sadly, no Nespresso coffee machine!). The roads so far have been mainly single lane highways with a speed limit of 110 km/h and very little traffic.  

After a very chilly first night, we visited the famous Pinnacles in Nambung National Park, an expanse of limestone pillars originally formed underground and since uncovered by the south-westerly winds. On the walk there, we came face to face with a group of kangaroos bouncing around in the bushes. A welcome sight after all the promises we'd made to Hannah and Ruby. 

Continuing along the scenic Indian Ocean Drive, we arrived at Kalbarri where we will spend the next 2 nights.
