Heading from Geraldton down the coast towards Perth we're coming into the mid west wheat belt. The biggest acreage is inland apparently- here there was a crop on one side and scrub covered sand hills on the other side of the road.
... no, not us! These stromatolites/rocky looking fossilised lumps at Shark Bay are the oldest and simplest forms of life on earth, dating back 4 million years.
There were several impressive Monitor lizards (over a metre long) at the Whitsunday National Park - they weren't at all interested in the beach goers fortunately.
We have a 'bad taste' competition going with our Chch friends the Thompsons, who just flew in and have hired a camper for a fortnight touring with us. They were pretty impressed to see Charles & Camilla Caterpillar-the green salt & pepper shakers they gave us for Xmas-resplendent on the table last night. Disappointed they forgot the shark set we gave them previously though (found in a junk shop in Hokitika.)
