Pack up day again – Matt and Maree left really early (we had a sad farewell) so they could spend as much time as they could with Maree’s sister. We left at a more leisurly pace and stopped in a Hamelin Pool on the way to Kalbarri. Hamelin Pool is the home to ancient stomatelites which I am sure are really interesting to a marine biologist but are essentially rocks in the water – impressive rocks – but still just rocks in water. 
We arrived in Kalbarri at about 2pm. Kalbarri is a really pretty little resort town where everything closes at 2pm even on a weekday. So getting the kids some hot chips for the hot chip sandwiches I promised them for lunch proved almost impossible. Eventually I found a little cafe who were still closing up who said they could make some for me. Clearly having read the desperation in my face they promptly charged me a small fortune for them.
Our campsites were right near the kids playground and I pretty much lost my kids for the rest of the afternoon so Deb and I cracked out the dip and bickies and a box of wine and settled in for the night.
