Cape Leveque

Hello All
After hearing all the horror stories about the road out to Cape Leveque, I headed off with trepidation.
The road while certainly not a highway was better than I expected and in fact much better than some roads I have been on.

Beagle Bay Chuch

Pallottine Fathers from Germany took over Beagle Bay Mission with two priests and four brothers. In 1907, the St John of God Sisters began to run a mission school at Beagle Bay and in 1918 the famous church was opened It features a pearl shell altar which is now a tourist attraction.

Next stop was Middle Lagoon, a popular weekend escape destination for locals but in saying that.....the beachfront camp hometown list read as.........Warrnambool(Vic), Perth, Tamworth(NSW), Traralgon(Vic) and Paynesville(Vic)
Not long after setting up, in came Neil and Denise from Tamworth, who I have been bumping into since Hopetoun in Southwest Western Australia.

Sunset, Middle Lagoon

It was a special feeling to be able to sit at camp and watch Dolphins playing, Turtles swimming around, and small Sharks cruising the shallows, and nice company as well.......

Tomorrow I head to Derby and the start of the Gibb River Road, so it might be a while before the next post.
There is no coverage along this road, and I have no set time along here. Hopefully even picking up a little work along the way if I get lucky, but rest assured there should be some great pictures when I next post.
The rough plan is a leisurely cruise visiting all the side destinations as well. I want to visit Mitchell Falls again and maybe even Kalumburu too. And finishing off with a week or so at ElQuestro Station.
So don't give up on me, I will be back depending on how long I spend along the Gibb......exciting times and magnificent scenery ahead.
I have also realised that May is time for my 6 monthly review on my Camper and Ute, but this will have to wait until I get out the other end of the Gibb.
Bye for now
