Kalbarri to Denham

Up at 7.30, breakfast at 8. The wind had stopped and the sun was out.

We went to Hawks Head Gorge instead of Z-bend Gorge because of the rain that had fallen, so we had no abseiling. Stopped for fuel at Overlander, and had lunch at Hamelin Telegraph Station. We then investigated the stromatolites at Hamelin Pool, and Ji gave us a hilarious lesson on them.

We made another stop at Shell Beach, which is just as it sounds - a beach made completely of tiny perfect white shells. It was absolutely beautiful, and we all spent some quiet time taking it in.

We continued on to Denham, getting there before 5pm. There was a supermarket run, we had drinks on the beach, and then a barbecue dinner. Later we got into the bore water spa with some rowdy drunken Europeans. Bed before 11pm.
