Sunday 13th, we went out to the Cape Range NP. We didn’t go last year, so it was a good drive. We’d forgotten how spectacular its gullies and gorges are, and the stunning colour of the rocks. The higher points give beautiful views up and down the Gulf of Exmouth too. I drove as Russ did last time (2 years ago), and was really happy to see they’ve put up new rails in the very steepest, narrowest part of the road. It scared the crap out of Russ last time, so I figure I got off easy!
The road through the bottom of the park was closed due to rain damage (a few months ago!) so we couldn’t go there. Instead we drove back into town and checked out the new canal development. It’s looking very empty and very very expensive so far. I think that three houses are completed and about 2 started since last year. The money however seems to be being poured into it still.
Kailis Prawn Trawlers
On the way out to the park we stopped and bought fresh bread rolls, then at Kailis’s shop we bought fresh cooked king prawns. We peeled our prawns and put them through a mayo, sweet chilli, spring onion mix then piled them into the rolls and ate them for a yummy picnic lunch. We wonder what the rich people do sometimes!
The Soak Picnic Ground
Sunday night, we went over and had a roast dinner at the camp “restaurant”. It was done by the same people as last year and still no better but at $14 for the two course meal, I figure we got what we paid for. I enjoyed the two families we sat with-one from Mandurah and the other from Groote Island in NT. It was especially interesting talking to them about their life there.
