Yesterday we took a drive out to the Geraldton Spy Base. It is nicely sign posted and even has a lookout. I guess that it isn't a secret spy base. We were treated to a kangaroo sighting and some great wildflowers.
Afterwards we took a scenic drive to Ellendale Pool. I had never been on the road before but thought it looked interesting. That is was. It changed from a nice paved road to a gravel road to a very muddy dirt road. The upside (besides the general pretty scenery) was that we saw several ring- necked parrots and a huge flock of ibis. Unfortunately, we couldn't get any photos as they were pretty skittish.
Ellendale Pools was a pretty place but quite noisy with a huge flock of white cockatoos. It was also extremely muddy. There were a few people camping there and we couldn't figure out why. An added bonus to the place was that there were huge signs warning about Ameobic Meningitis.
We moved on to Greenough River to do a walk along the river. It was very pretty and we saw another echidna. They are cute little things. It walked under a bush before we could get a photo.
Today we were planning to go back and do another section of the walk but it is pissing down rain. Too bad for Wendy's last day but we hear that it is sooo hot in Park City so a cool but rainy day is not too bad. We will probably head out to an olive plantation later. I don't think the rain will matter to much for that.
Our last pictures (I think) are here.
