Leisurely departure, towards Canarvon. Went to Bumbacks Jams and Preserves on way in, along with a farm shop. Loads of market gardens either side of Murchison River. Then went into town centre to check out Canarvon and grab some lunch. Canarvon seems to be quite a nice place and had a good playground that the kids appreciated.
Onwards and last minute decision to go to Gladstone jetty camp on the mainland side of Shark Bay. A jetty built in early 1900’s to ship wool and sandalwood south. It really is nowhere near any towns.
Lovely spot with really clear water just north of the marine sanctuary, but quite shallow so difficult to fish. We were really lucky with no wind and still warm when we got there, but it is definitely getting colder, especially at night.
