Up North

Driving north to find some warmer weather, we set off with C's car loaded up with supplies for 6 days. Every inch of space was required, including a consignment of Aldi's grog under the front seats. We stopped at a strawberry farm and bought a punnet of luscious berries and a head of garlic.

We spent the first night in Geraldton, with a harbour view 2-bedroom apartment at the Mantra Hotel. The view of the sunset from our balcony was terrific. After a stroll along the boardwalk we came back to cook some trout and watch Poldark.
