Last day in Kalbarri

Awoke today and it was going to be just a relaxing day and we’ll do what ever happens or comes along. At 8.45am here in Kalbarri across the road from the caravan park on the beachfront they feed the pelicans daily. So of course we’ll go across as well  as about 40 other people. The lady that feeds them talked about the area and the pelicans and how you can distinguish a young pelican by its pale legs and the adult ones have grey legs. She had mule to feed the pelicans, a bucket full. The volunteers that come and feed the pelicans do 1 week at a time. Well we waited and waited and only attracted seagulls, so the volunteer and said for all the children to grab and mule and through them to the seagulls as there were no pelicans coming in today. They have been feeding the pelicans for 35 years in Kalbarri and in the same spot.  After about 20 mins everyone walked away, however we stayed and were talking to the volunteer and at about 9.15am one pelican flew in. Well at least we saw one pelican but couldn’t feed him as the mule had been given away. He must of slept in today along with his friends. We hoped to come back again in the morning, however we leave in the morning. 

I did 2 big loads of washing this morning and all bedding, getting all lovely and fresh for the trip home.

After lunch we had decided to do something and go check out the coastline down south a little, and it seems similar to the great ocean road.  Lots to see and do and many picturesque photos as well of,’Natural Bridge’,’ The Castle’, “The Grandstand”, ‘Island Rock’, and ‘Red Bluff’ just to name a few. We had then said to the kids, especially Oliver that they could go to the local, Pirate Theme Park that is now the Kalbarri Entertainment Centre. I had rung before we got there and we had 2 hours before it closes, as its Saturday. We scoot around to the centre and we are the only ones there, well is this saying something about this place or what. (Mark and I were tipping its no good), however we couldn’t disappointment them and had to go in and then it was $2 each to get in, yeah not bad, then if you want to jump on the trampolines its $7 each and then another $7 each to climb the spider web. We thought oh no, this isn’t so good after all. To top it off they only take cash, so in the end we scraped enough money together for the boys to go to the trampolines and then Lily wanted to play on the cars and the cubby. We were only there 40mins and we got out of there quickly. Down to drop off the boys who all wanted to fish at Chinaman’s beach and then I drove off to the beach park, yes another park, for Lily to play in. After awhile rain started and I knew I had to get back to get my washing off the line, so I had said Lily we’ll go and you can play again in the park at the Caravan Park. Great idea, and this is where she met another little friend her age a boy this time called Jez. He was Albany on a holiday with mum and dad and they both played chasey. Boys walked back from the beach and had left Mark down the beach, the boys wanted to know who was winning the football Hawthorn or Adelaide, and much to Oliver’s disappointment Hawthorn won.  We pack up and move on tomorrow and we have really enjoyed Kalbarri, a place we would come back too.
