After a couple of days on the river we headed to the coast again. Starting at Bunbury we found roads that hugged the coast where we could. Down to Busselton and around and up to Cape Naturaliste. We had been here 23 years ago and the change is remarkable, coastal development and new suburbs everywhere. Progress has stretched it’s arms and enveloped the whole coastline. Inevitable, but in our mind a shame.
Nothing held us too long but it was interesting to see the changes. At the tip of Cape Naturaliste we turned South, still following the coast on the main road till we came to a 4wd track that followed the coastline further over towards the sea. This was our sort of road. It was called the Three Bears Track, don’t know why, but off we went.
The track weaved it’s way along the ruggard coastline, not a difficult drive, but somewhat slow, with some large holes and rocks to negotiate. After camping at a small clearing on the track we set off again in the morning.
Around lunchtime we were nearly at the point where the track meets the main road again. There was an area we drove through with a stand of grass trees with very thick trunks, looking at them they resembled little African huts.
It was interesting enough to spend a bit of time there, so that was our camp for another couple of days.
