We collected the hire car, white but certainly no Audi, and were up and out of Perth. We headed north for New Norcia, Oz's only monastic town. After a look round at some great ornate styled buildings we decided to push on as it seemed too late in the day for us to actually meet a monk, the towns main attraction, or anyone else come to think of it. On route to NW we passed through many small towns that just reminded you of years gone by . But however small you always got the 'welcome to ......' sign treatment and the obligatory population info which doesn't really reach many over a 1000 - the smallest being a mere 70!
The plan from NW was to head for Cervantes to view the Pinnacles at sunset but after a few wrong turns and a bit of roo dodging we somehow ended up at Dongara. We'd over shot Cervantes by some 90 kms. As the sun started to set we decided to avoid any more roo action (they are big buggers and not sure the hire car could cope with a head on impact) so we stayed put at Dongara in a cabin near the beach.
