Before we start the day proper to Francois Peron, the guide brought us to a place where you can bird watch. He recommend this place for bird watchers. And he pointed out the various birds and names. Not that into birds but Mister is into photographing the birds.
We are here!
At the entrypoint at Peron Homestead Precinct. Its here that you need to deflate your tyres before venturing in. From hereon, its all 4WD.
The road leading us to Adventure!
You MUST plan a day trip here. Repeat: You MUST spend a day here.
Its is here that we had our many firsts: 4WD, walking on dunes, seeing marine creatures in the wild
First time in a 4WD. I was expecting it to be bumpy and uncomfortable. But it really isn't, still somewhat like a car ride.
Walking on the dunes. I keep expecting the sand to crumble and I will fall down the depths below. So far so good! The red dunes are really pretty against the white beach making a striking contrast.
I am not really sure if there is a trail because we had a guide to follow. But there is a recommended trail called the Wanamalu Trail.
Seeing sharks, turtles, rays in the wild! and all at Skip Jack Point.
Tip: Polarised sunglasses is a definite MUST.
A dead whale beached on the beach but no sharks as it is way above the sand.
The guide is very familiar with the fauna of the national park and can spot animal trails that you/me will disregard. You can see the trails of the animal passing through the sand.
Sometimes, it could be just a paw print and the guide can guess what it is.
And we saw a very thorny reptile called the Thorny Devil, its name is so apt and fitting.
Good bye Francois Peron! It had been a fabulous day!
