We leave Sany Cape and headed to Dongara/Port Denison. Another pretty spot where we bought ourselves a seafood pie and parked near the water to have lunch, and to connect to the internet to get our mail.
We then continued on to an inexpensive ($5 per night) camp spot called Ellendale Pool and it poured with rain the whole way. Ellendale Pool is inland from Geraldton and is a pretty spot on the Greenough River, with free gas BBQs, toilets, TV reception, water and rubbish bins. There were beautiful cliffs on the far side of the river and you could see where flood waters had been through not too long before.
The rain stopped for a short time allowing us to get set up but poured again a couple of times during the afternoon. By about 4pm the sun came out for a while so we went for a short walk. Our thongs were coated with about 3" of red mud! There was a young woman camped near to us who was travelling all by herself with a canoe and a small tent ... very brave! When the sun came out she went for a paddle on the river for a short time. We didn't realise it then, but we would catch up with her again in Kalbarri.
