On our way "heading south" (south) is another landschaftli-cher highlight on the track , as all the travel literature promises. The Kalbarri NP. Again, a stony and rocky thing left out of the running of the Murchison River gorge a deep furrow. Simultaneously, the NP is adjacent to the coast, where wild rock formations from the water of the Indian Ocean are limited.
Before we go to NP we do - turn the long distance because of - intermediate stop at a 24-Overnigt-rest-area. These are places that are each slightly off the main roads provided where an accommodation stay is permitted, usually equipped with tables and benches and a simple toilet facilities. This time the chosen course is particularly idyllic spot on Banks of the Murchison River. After a brief setup procedure for the first time gnocchi al pesto "was started, how it tastes wonderful to a swig of red wine. At times we forgive us in the chambers of our "gypsy box" because we are a severe wind whistles around the ears to a residence in the open rather spoils. There will be a totally "troubled night" ...
Just past midnight, Sandra deterred from sleep and wants to "strange rustling crawling" have heard from inside our house. Four vertically elongated listener locations after the first is not exactly identifiable sound, which at irregular Intervals can be heard, a little irritating that it does not always come from the same corner. In the middle of the night, dismantling the sleeping body and subjected to all the built-in boxes and drawers to a thorough search - crawling up the evil perpetrators are visible in the light of the flashlight for a moment: a little gray mouse! Somewhere, it needs to access the vehicle interior creature have given. Not exactly a pleasant discovery, especially since we no trap or poison are not capable of the thing, "harmless" to make. Noise-eliminated "Hearing stakes" we doze in the supposedly secure Dachtrackt the next morning meet with the resolute purpose to arm ourselves with the case and poison. This project will be completed the same day it first.
During a long hike through the Kalbarri NP will snap the trap with cheese Cheated! Meanwhile, we go to an 8 mile walk through the canyon landscape. The area presents itself, not unattractive, it can not work with the impressiveness of the fantastic already seeing (Karijini, Litchfield, Kakadu, etc.) to be incorporated. Probably an effect of the numerous impressions of landscape Super Highligts, we have witnessed in recent weeks, and experienced. Height of the welding-intensive effort is the "Nature's Window ", a stone frame through which you can see the underlying Schluchtwindung through a window. Long, about 3 hours march over hill and dale, over sand bars and gravel areas, we won because even under the title "activities for physical fitness." Only, but still! Nevertheless, is a colorful land. Instead of the usual red runs presented, the sandy surface in bright yellow. Besides the natural road to grow many wild flowers and enrich the landscape with an amazing color mix.
When we catch the camper, we eagerly await the state of the mouse-trap. If the mouse is really a broken neck caught in the clamp of the trap or she has spurned the cheap cheese well? The latter seems to be the case. If empty, cheese unaffected. We decide to repeat the strategy in the following night as we drive back to the yellow and gleaming sand paths to the town of Kalbarri.
Throughout the night Sandra halbgespitzte have no eavesdropper sensory activities in the form of play more sounds heard. Excited in the morning we inspect the laid trap. Again, no mouse. Perhaps an unfortunate problem has resolved itself and so the beast has left the four walls of a lack of delicacies again. Until the hour is the fate of this meeting in any case has not been resolved completely.
And on we go the rugged coast towards Perth, where we want to arrive before Christmas. There are still controlled a few promising Lookouts, where the magnificent coastal scenery unfolds before us. And always a sturdy and cool breeze blowing us around the face. Almost a little too cool for Australian conditions. After the last trial heat in the hot north you get used hardly at temperatures below the 30 degree mark.
