THE WHEAT BELT AT LAST

Stopping along the NW Coastal Hwy at Rest Areas for 3 nights we have finally encountered paddocks of wheat and other grains crops.  It is certainly different to looking at scrub bushes for endless kilometres.  Taking a walk around the rest areas, I have found some interesting wildflowers and so am getting rather excited as coming towards Kalbarri which I have been told is the "Best" area to see them.
The second rest area was beside the Murchison river which flows as far inland as Meekatharra and flows to the sea at Kalbarri.


Campers can pull-up on both sides of this river.  Pelicans and ducks with their little chicks swimming up-stream.

Lovely peaceful sunset to sit and watch while swatting the flies away from ones face!!!

The birds having their feed of seeds for dinner.
