Day 2 – 25/07/09
Lancelin to The Pinnacles (Cervantes)
Sunset at the Pinnacles
Young Goss and Nigel were up at the crack of dawn, pure eager to fill the bellies and pack up the wreckage that is our campsite. There were bottles, cans, food and parts of the tent everywhere from the hurricane Charlie winds last night. We all had the porridge and coffee except for Gino who wouldn’t even stir from the car to brush his teeth, useless!
The buckos in the Tercel, Fester Adams and Coco (from coco pops), put air in the tyres and low and behold it seems to have sorted the car out. Thank Christ because we thought it was on its last legs after only 150km!!
So off we go on the road to Cervantes. Steve as usual won’t let anyone else drive, the wannabe boy racer he is. Darren and Eugene aren’t complaining though as they catch up on even more quality rest!
So we arrive at the National Park and see that the entry is per car ($10), not per person, so the minister for finance steps up to the plate and makes an executive decision to empty 1 car and all squeeze us all into the other. This will definitely be the tactic heading north. That’s why we elected him into the role in January 2009!! Nigel spots a decent area just off the main road to set up camp and BOOM, job done!!
Off we head for the Pinnacles about 4.30 just in time to catch the sunset. The place looks unreal, like it doesn’t belong on this planet, more like Mars or something. It reminded us of our rock picking days in New Norcia where we worked for 12 dollars an hour lifting boulders.
We do the usual tourist thing by driving around the 4km track but then we decide to do our Billy Connolly tribute. So we find a decent spot and all strip off bollock naked except for the woolly hats. We run and dance like mad men from the film ‘One who flew over the cuckoos nest’ for about 15 minutes. The cold breeze adds to our embarrassment! Photos are taken and videos made which are either gonna make us famous or haunt us later in life! We are thinking the latter!

Tis always important to stretch after a long drive!
Back to the campsite to wind down with the fire, guitar, cold Carlton dry, Nigel’s spaghetti and diced tomatoes! We shared our campsite with a German couple, great minds think alike!
Quote of the Day…..compliments of Darren
“The average age of the miners in Bolivia is about 40 because they breathe in so much asparagus”……. I think that’s asbestos Darren!
