Day three

Moses Rock to Gracetown. Exhausting. What else...

Lots of track, cliff, beach, water. Great views. First half is very enjoyable.

There are dolphins ! A dozen or so, some out-surfing the human surfers. And generally just floating around. Brilliant :-)

Stop at Wilyabrup Beach for lunch. Getting tired... get annoyed at lack of track signs. Really needs a sign, This way to the carpark.

A few toilets -- many km apart ! -- need to be photographed. One is quite new, it's placed for an area of climbing and abseiling cliffs. There's also a geocache nearby... at the base of the cliffs. Which would mean, climbing back up again... We leave that cache unfound.

We do find a couple of other caches along the way. Another, near the end, we also give up on. "Between rock and vegetation." Yeah right, that's a great hint. (Yes, getting really tired now !)

There are interesting memories...

A giant staircase that we climb up, Deb and I went up there on our trail runs, a few years ago. Then a soft sandy track behind sandhills, yes, we ran there. The final 5m high rock that we scrambled over... today, we walk around. To the sealed road. On the edge of Gracetown, at last.

The last couple of hours has been a slog. I've been walking okay but with no spare energy, no great enthusiasm. Oh well... an even longer walk tomorrow :-)

We reach the Gracetown Shop... and sit inside. Done. Phew. And just on time, it starts to rain.

The minibus arrives, we all climb aboard. Barely out of town and we pull over... The driver is a mad keen surfer and stops to describe the surf breaks that we can see.

Home again. Dinner. Collapsed...
