Albany - Ravensthorpe Day 50


Friday 21st September

A lot to see today so we left camp at 7:00m headed through town.  We arrived in Bremer Bay the sun was out but the wind was picking up as there was a bad storm following us today.  Pretty little place Bremer Bay will come back and spend a few days here, morning tea in the park beside the beach Kerry & Nev met up with us there.

Now onto a homestead in Fitzgerald National Park, next stop was Pt Ann as this is the spot to see whales.  The wind was really picking up now and we walked down to a viewing point and saw two whales swimming close to the beach.

We were on a very good dirt road but the wind kept blowing the sand around and at times we could not see much in front of us.  We had some lunch when we made it to the main road and the wind was very strong and we had to find a place that was sheltered.

The weather reports were predicting 100ks winds so the decision was made when we got into Ravensthorpe we would get a cabin as sit was too dangerous to put up campers.  When we did arrive there were no cabins to be had so we tried the motel across the road and she was closed as she said she had a big group coming in on the Saturday night and could not accommodate us so Pete went to the pub and they had rooms so we ended up there.


Tea at the pub and we were all safe as the wind and the rain got worse, it would have been an interesting night in the campers.
