Week 490 to 498 - Perth to Green Head

From Margaret River we scooted up to the outskirts of Perth to stay with Steve and Louise at Wandi for a few days.

Steve is a grease monkey from way back and helped me do a couple of jobs on the motorhome including replacing a $700 hand brake valve and a $300 fuel pump (ouch).  I am semi confident when working on the engine and appreciated Steve's experience and knowledge.

Our next worldly experience was a stint working at a caravan park at Green Head, just 250 km north of Perth.  However, due to some lack of communication, I was not able to work because of insurance issues, so Jo did a voluntary 2 hours a day to pay for our site, power and water.

Dynamite Bay in the foreground, CP can 
be seen just off to the left. 

I spent a long 7 weeks basically twindling my thumbs and pottering around the bus.  Although Green Head is only 250 km north of Perth, it is very isolated, no shops,  no hardware, no spare parts locally, so always difficult to source spares in this part of the world.

Fishing spot - When the tide goes out, 
there is a great fishing spot at the end of the point.

Blue Tongue Lizard - These lizards are 
in abundance at Green Head.

Stairway to heaven - The council has 
introduced an environmentally friendly 
walking track around the dunes at Green Head. 
This is a plastic hill over the dunes 

Dynamite Bay - Dynamite Bay is supposed to 
be in the top 15 beaches of  Australia, 
however, as you can see the seaweed has 
washed up onto the beach in abundance.

I can see it is isolated by your brilliant photos. What a magnificent place and perfect for photo
opportunities.

We loved Green Head but it is a quiet little place!
