Our new found friends decided to stay put today while we got going about 9.30am and went back to the main road and headed north. The scenery on this coast is quite different to that with which we have become used to on the east coast. It is still very nice hills and greenery but here on the west coast it is more (for want of a better word) business like. We have green fields, trees and sheep so it really is very pleasant.

First stop was 'Cummins Monument' lookout which was really very spectacular and where we intended to overnight. But the wind was too strong and much too cold so we moved on. There are a lot of rock walls in the farms lining the road which are built using local rocks stacked in such a way as to not need mortar, very clever. Our next stop was at a layby where there was a story board about these walls which were apparently the way farmers, in the late 19th century, fenced their properties. Again it was not good enough for us to stay the night and we moved on again. After passing through the town of Elliston we have settled for the night, and maybe more than one night, at a place called the Walkers Rocks Campground along with half a dozen other campers. We are partly sheltered from the wind and just a hop,step and jump from a very nice beach.
