20th Aug -22nd Aug and its off to Shark Bay...via Billabong and Overlander

Shark Bay next, but first we have to go through Billabong... now you would think with a fashion label named after it it would be big. But let me just put you right! Billabong is one garage and one pub. Then there is Overlander, well thats just a garage (or roadhouse, as they are called here). BUT.... and I stress But they are not to be missed as they do the best chips and gravy ever... yum yum flippin yum... and their coffee was sooooo good too.

We roll into Shark Bay and start looking for the 'Tops site'. We come across it but it is full, now unfortunately thats the one we have been recommended to stay at, but hey ho. We drive on through town, up a hill and there in the sunlight appears 'Shark Bay Caravan Site'.  Now I am not gonna say too much about this place accept it was a bit like staying in the middle of a bomb site car park, (you know where someone has bought a bit of land and decides that for a lot of money you can park on it!!!! )  The showers were basic as were the ameneties. We slept on shell and gravel (bloody hard ground). But we still had a good stay, the town was ok and quite pretty, the people were a bit offish though and it felt as though they actually could not be bothered, not all of them, but a lot of them.... There was a nice esplanade to walk along. We are trying to hold on the budget so decide to have chips and a roll. But guess what, the chips (we share a box) cost £5 and the roll was £2 each, so even chips in a butty are not a cheap option out here. Still never mind, we are fed and watered. WE have to remember that you cant drink any of the tap water out here and the washing up water and the shower water has a slight orange tinge to it as its bore water, but again we get our heads round the situ and just carry on.

Heres the piccies...

The signage... look at those distances and yes we covered all of them...it tool over 6 hours and we were both knackered at the end of them..

Now after doing all these KM's and more, I still got John to give my hair a quick trim..... yes I know but he dosent charge and everything is so flippin dear out here...we also made a nice chilli and a chicken curry....We ended up staying in Shark Bay for 4 nights, so it was't that bad, it could just have been better...
