The National Parks and reserves south of Kalbarri are not particularly well marked but we had a book about all the reserves and National Parks in WA so we sought out a couple. Stockyard Gully has a cave a bit like Tunnel Creek only without the water and the crocodiles but still interesting.
We found a Bobtail skink which Fabian of course picked up. We did it the service of removing 4 ticks from it's back before letting it go. Next we drove to Leseuer National Park which has some of the most diverse flora in WA (and the world). November is not the peak month but we still saw lots of beautiful wild flowers.
Broughton had put the Pinnacles on the travel agenda as he had written a piece about them for a school exercise. I guess we would have visited them anyway as they are a major tourist destination. The new visitor's center is very flash and has some good displays but they really aren't sure how the pinnacles were formed and the center seemed a bit superfluous. However, the pinnacles were a bit eerie and worth the visit.
On the road to Lancelin, it was, as expected, windy. It had been windy all afternoon with sand dancing along the road near one big sand dune. We had visited three parks and still had to make camp that evening - a big day.
