Dolphins

Look! The people have gathered here, lets go and see what they're doing there, standing by the beach.. Turtle too joined the party!

Just after crossing over to North West, there was a curious collection of garden gnomes, in the memory of deceased friends and family. The Garden Gnomes of the Dead?? No idea.

For the record, the ride from Monkey Mia to the Coral Bay was pretty rainy, but it was warm rain, so I didnt bother with waterproof gloves. Unnecessary.

Up the coast

Nothing really special today, just some river gorges and Shark Bay, camping at Monkey Mia. This stretch of land is a tourist trap...

Aussie architecture

Honestly, after the Lonely Planet was advertising this Cathedral for its' archtectual values, I sort of expected more than this. It's not ugly, just not as special as advertised. Even the doors were plain functional, not carved with symbols etc.

Luckily I'm here more to look the nature :)

There was a place called Pink Lake that I rode by earlier, but the algae that gave the place its' color had disappeared. My guess is that this is where it relocatated itself. Or it's the chemical factory nearby (BASF).

Coral coast

Just when I thought that there wont be anything really suprising coming up, then they appear out of nowhere!

If anyone guesses right what the machine in the picture is, congratulations!

I doubt that the message is for me, but...

What a night

About two months worth of rain in one day, and the ground didnt soak it quick enough - fortunately the floor of the tent was still waterproof, so it kept the one-two centimeters of water on the ground outside... Still it was a quite damp night and I was happy to leave Kalgoorlie asap in the morning. 350km westwards the rain stopped and sun finally is shining again.

Camping inside kitchen shelter was an attractive option until I was pointed out that there's a crusader spider on the ceiling... Or what ever the big guy was, it was told to be one of the poisonous ones. So into the tent for the night. I wonder why I was the only one camping out there?

Didnt have much motivation left for tourism, I need sunshine for that.

Super Pit of Kalgoorlie

It's huge! And not yet in its' final size either... Looks like rain found me today, according to weather services the amount of monthly rainfall is coming down today. At least I got a book and a tent.

Old machines on the road

Some sort of veteran mobiles rally across Australia, maybe twenty of vintage machines were spotted!

Arrived finally to Kalgoorlie, despite a murderous head wind all the way. Maybe the weather is changing or its the cyclone Loa thats north of me.
