Road Trip - Cervantes

We left Lancelin and and headed for Badgingarra, where the parents of friends of ours live. We stopped for a cuppa and a chat, and from there headed over to Cervantes. Along the way we crossed over the Dampier/Bunbury gas pipeline which is in the process of being built.

The caravan park at Cervantes was busy. They have a "camp kitchen", with a stove, kettle (coffee!), sinks and a fridge, which made it much easier for us.

We went shopping for supplies, and went past the real-estate agents. The house prices there are quite expensive - $750,000! It reminded me of Augusta, which seemed to be a strange mix of "shacks", and massive modern houses.

Just outside Cervantes is the Pinnacles Desert. This is a forest of limestone pillars that makes it look like some ancient civilization. No-one is really sure how they came to exist. There's a lookout platform in the middle, and you can look out over the edge of the desert to the sand dunes. Very impressive.
