Indian Ocean Road

LEEMAN The Turquoise Coast has some lovely bays, rugged limestone coastline and several islands offshore. it is freaky watching the waves breaking several metres high out on the reef, just visible in the distance. The area is a cray fishing spot so a few big boats moored and surprisingly not many people out fishing yesterday.

SANDY CAPE More of the variety of scenery with some of the sand blows. Driving in to here we saw a feral cat and coming out a fox. Most national parks and reserves have signs up showing that poison has been laid as foxes pose a big problem to wildlife and stock.
There are also a lot of salt pan lakes and lime and gypsum being mined.


STOCK YARD GULLY CAVE After going down a gravel road and then 5km's of 4 wheel drive sandy track we reached this area, you follow the sandy creek bed to enter the 300 metre cave that as the title reflects is where the stock route was. I was very privileged and Paul let me drive out on the sandy track.
We have found the roads in Western Australia excellent and hardly any traffic.
