Wednesday 1st October. 

It is now afternoon and Elaine and most of the other people here are nanna napping. The camping area here at Point Louisr is also the car park and at the moment is temporary home to 9 campers of varying descriptions but mostly, for the first time this trip, motorhomes. 

This place is just north of Greenhead which in turn is about 200 kms north of Perth. The point marks one side of a small bay inside of which there are 2 small lumps of rock otherwise known here as islands. It is also quite shallow and we walked out to one of the islands, at least I got to within about 20 mtrs before the bottom got too spikey to walk on and Elaine got about halfway. It is about 200 mtrs offshore. We also walked up to the lookout on the point and got a good birds eye view of the shallow reef system, then along to the next bay which is a delightful beach. The forecast was for 32degrees and had it been correct we would have had a swim. As it is the forecast is incorrect with lots of cloud cover, upsetting our solar panels, keeping the temperature way down. One thing that I should point out to all the detractors is that the sand at all the beaches on this coast is white, some like this one absolute persil white others just white. Other staters eat your hearts out!
