Horrocks

We left Kalbarri Monday morning for the short drive down to Horrocks, which is a small beachside holiday village about 70 K’s north of Geraldton. We stayed here at the Horrocks Beach Caravan Park 2 years ago and loved it so much we wanted to come again. Unfortunately the weather has not been all that kind for us as a cold front came thru and the first 2 days have been very windy and wet. So it was off to Northampton (22 K’s inland from Horrocks).

Northampton is famous for its colourful sheep all over the town, to many to photo all but this one got a friendly pat from Susan.
In front of the pub, are life sized cut outs of the local boys who have and are still playing AFL Football. For a small town of 500 people its a pretty good effort. The players are from the left, Patrick Cripps, Jamie Cripps, Liam Anthony, Harry Taylor, Josh Kennedy, Paul Hasleby, Tarkyn Lockyer, Daniel Chick & Andrew Lockyer

A quick walk along the beach when the weather finally cleared up.

Thursday morning we head off down to Geraldton and then start our trek inland heading east. We have 2 free camps before we get to Kalgoorlie. Looking forward to staying at a ghost town, just outside Leonora on one of the free camps. We have a few tours planned in Kalgoorlie, one with a bit of a twist and of course really looking forward to golf at the Kalgoorlie course, recently voted number 18 golf course in Australia.
