Our one night in Middle Lagoon done, we hit the dirt road
again. Here’s a photo of the track, even
though this is a pretty good section the rest really wasn’t too bad at all…
On the track out of Middle Lagoon we took a slight detour to find the Whalesong Café located at Pender Bay. It was an unexpected piece of civilisation out in the middle of nowhere.
Aiden’s mango crush…
My view while enjoying a coffee… bliss!
After our caffeine injection we hit the road again to travel up and around the tip of Cape Leveque to our camp site at Cygnet Bay. On arrival we missed the sign indicating where Reception was and instead headed down the sand track with a big sign saying “Accommodation”. We ended up driving willy nilly through a rabbit warren of camp sites and eco tents when you wouldn’t believe it… we came across someone we know (Johan & Zandra) sitting out the front of their eco tent… we thought that was pretty freaky… Anyway, we finally made it all the way back to Reception and got our camp site sorted. We set up camp, then headed back to the infinity pool for a dip in what is the “Dampier Peninsula’s only pool”…
Spidey “hanging out” at the pool
Our camp site is nestled amongst trees and coconut palms (yes, we checked to make sure we were not camped under a coconut tree). Not surprisingly, within the first ten minutes of setting up camp the kids had amassed a pile of coconuts…
When beer o’clock struck we headed back to the main building for a drink and a game of Batman Love Letter with the kids… and to spend some quality time with Spidey ;)
The day ended with
a really nice dinner in the restaurant with Johan, Zandra and their daughter
Francine. It is surprising how much you
appreciate coming across familiar faces while you are away ;)
