Easy walk and a coffee despite the threat of heavy showers (which drenched us just as we were returning to the car!)

The Pinnacles
Amazing scene and experience, we ended up staying 3.5hrs including viewing the sunset with a glass of wine.
The area contains thousands of weathered limestone pillars. Some of the tallest pinnacles reach heights of up to 3.5m above the yellow sand base. The different types of formations include ones which are much taller than they are wide and resemble columns—suggesting the name of Pinnacles—while others are only a meter or so in height and width resembling short tombstones. A cross-bedding structure can be observed in many pinnacles where the angle of deposited sand changed suddenly due to changes in prevailing winds during formation of the limestone beds. Pinnacles with tops similar to mushrooms are created when the calcrete capping is harder than the limestone layer below it. The relatively softer lower layers weather and erode at a faster rate than the top layer leaving behind more material at the top of the pinnacle.
Cervantes morning walk
Walking to Lake Thetis, Hansen Bay Lookout and back to home base (7km).
Lunch on way from Perth to Cervantes
Sue & Tony (Perth)
COVID 19 delayed our visit to cousin Sue and husband Tony. Living on a property just outside Perth we were warmly welcomed. Our 3 days with them were very special including visiting Uncle Ray & Aunty June in their aged care home and Wayne visiting for lunch. Our last meal was a dinner we shall remember for many years.
Farewell O.H.F.
We have just left this ” home away from home” after spending 10 weeks at Olive Hill Farm during COVID lockdown. Our hosts Benji, Helen and the children could not be faulted in their care for us. We regularly walked through the tall trees to the river and over the two months watched the colours change to red and gold. Other walks on the dirt roads took us past lush paddocks with cows, kangaroos, sheep and bird life. Our accommodation was on a spacious level site with the olive trees providing privacy between campers. We loved the opportunity to sit at the fire under the stars and enjoyed this family friendly place.
