Still very quiet in the caravan parks and we were the only ones camped here for most of the 4 days. Below the caravan park is Waroona dam creating Lake Navarino which we cycled next to and had a refreshing swim in. The girls paddled around in the shallow dam water and gave Stef a free mud pack treatment! We also spent a couple of days doing day trips to the forest at Lane Poole reserve to swim in the Murray river and do a hike. Just a magical area and the river water a really pleasant temperature after New Zealand's freezing rivers. Also no crocodiles down south which is always good to know! Still I always get the children to check out the water first before I go in. (only joking!)
The bump getting bigger!
From the dam we moved down to the coast to Lake Clifton caravan park run by a slightly odd lady who had a strong rule book! One time the girls were both in the toilet block having a poo and Stef was standing outside and she got quite annoyed that Stef wasn't standing next to them watching. Maybe she thought they would flush themselves down the loo! We were almost the only ones there although she might have been putting people off. We went to nearby Preston beach where the girls had fun in the crashing waves. Kyra got buried in the sand. Not sure how much she liked this judging from the face she is making in the photo!
From here we went to see the ancient Thrombolites in lake Clifton.
Thrombolites are clotted accretionary structures formed in shallow water by the trapping, binding, and cementation of sedimentary grains by bio films of microorganisms which I'm sure you already knew!
