Rock Hopping Day 2

After a very lazy morning we eventually ventured out into the icy wind. We had a good scramble all over Moorine Rock before heading back to camp for a movie and lunch.

After lunch it was of for a scenic drive to Baladjie Rock via Police Rock and Caroling Rock. Baladjie Lake was about 50% covered with water so it was quite scenic from on top of the rock. Lots of quality camping sites here at Baladjie Rock.

Lots of climbing here and the views were sensational. Plenty of 4WD tracks around here too.

Next we headed for the gold mining town of Westonia. Very tidy and quaint. Picked up a couple of lemons for this afternoon’s Margaritas.

There was mine site blasting posted for 4:30PM so we thought we had better get out of town while the getting was good. We decided to backtrack a little and checkout Sandford Rock. We didn’t have the time or energy for the walk trail here, but will come back another time. It would be hard to better Baladjie though.

Took the back roads to camp and have finished this blog entry just in time for 5sies.
