Kalbarri

Last day today in Geraldton...

Yesterday did a day trip out to Kalbarri and Kalbarri National park...and all I can say is Wow!...What spectacular scenery!...
The coast line is rugged and windswept, with huge sandstone cliffs, which contrasted beautifully with the deep blue and rough sea...


The Natural Window was a place we made a point of visiting...

It frames a view of the mighty Murchison River as it makes its way out to sea at Kalbarri...


The lengths we go to,to escape grey nomads!!!!

And then I lost my footing... and Hans calmly stood and took photos!!!



This area is still blooming with wildflowers... and the sand here is a chalky pale yellow colour...and the sandy path almost like a scene from a kids story!

Tommorrow we say sad farewells to our dear friends the Bells...


Joanne, Rhiannon, Brian, Christopher and Dayna. Thanks guys...it's been great...but it's time to get 'on the road again'...

Where do those beautiful children go to school? Is there a teacher shortage there, by any chance? What are you hearing about education in Australia, especially in the South and in the West? I would love to teach anywhere in Australia for a couple of years, but I fear my U.S. training is not coveted by the U.K. system in place down there. Do you ever hear any mention of jobs for teachers?

It's crazy hot and humid here and Michael is doing a huge roof. He comes home whipped every day and I also fear for his health and his sanity! (Not much in place, to begin with, eh??) When we're not working we're dodging hurricanes and tropical storms...our school was out for four days because of flooding.

Your photos are gorgeous!! You look very fit and healthy and HAPPY. Best of luck to you, stay warm, Monica and Michael.
