Geraldton: Driving on sand dunes

Right now sitting in McDonalds (yes, again McDonalds, but at least they have WiFi connection) in Geraldton. The last "bigger" city before no-mans land. The mcdonalds will be the last one for the next 1000 or more kilometres. 

The scenery is awesome. I just drove about 500 kilometres to the north from perth, but its already such a stunning view along the coast. As far the eye can see is just beach and white sand hills close to the water. This morning i decided to drive along the beach and it was funny to drive up and down the sand hills in 4wd mode:)


Yesterday i ended up driving into the night, which made me little bit afraid. Everybody told me not to do this because its so dangerous that kangaroos are crossing the streets when its dark. Thankfully nothing happened. Later the evening i stopped somewhere to test my campshower...! Its a shower - or a big bag - which you have to fill with water, hang it up somewhere and turn on the tab. hahaha.. as i didnt have a tree, i had to hang it on the roof of my car and therefore i nearly had to sit on the ground to use the shower... argh.. and it was pretty cold at night combined with the cold freezy coastal wind it wasnt such a pleasure. But at least i was clean afterwards! This was the second night i slept in my car. Its actually very comfortable. Also the waking up beside the beach in the early morning sun is awesome!
Now i have to go to the supermarket and buy some meat to put in my ice filled coolbox. Then i will leave to the Kalbari Nationalpark. Its about 200 km from here....
