Western Australia - Post 5 of 5 - Green Head

Australia Day threw a spanner into the works, causing us to abandon our plans of staying in a caravan park near The Pinnacles, and instead stopping further north, at Green Heads.  Lesson learned, book caravan parks well ahead of time for Australia holidays.  The change of plans ended up working out pretty well though, Green Heads was a great place to stay, and the caravan park was very nice.  Once at the park I went out to shoot the sunset for what would be the last time for the trip, and the city lived up to its name.  There was plenty of green on the cliffs, and it provided a nice balance of colour with the blues and oranges of the sunset.  I spent the next morning again on the cliffs, facing the other way to capture the sunrise.  We packed up early that morning and headed down to visit The Pinnacles, then over to Hutt River Provence.  A very interesting place, it exists as a sovereign independent state, outside of the control of Australia, despite being completely landlocked.  The final stop for the evening was New Norcia, home to a Benedictine Monastery, and a wonderful Abbey Ale.   We got a little loose that night on the Abbey brew, went on an impromptu ghost walk with a local resident, and heard some wonderful behind the scenes stories of the former orphanage and boarding school.  No ghosts were spotted, so we headed back to the RV.   That night we hurriedly packed and clean, preparing for a busy morning of driving to the airport, returning the RV, and heading home.  Western Australia was a wonderful place, and look forward to making it back to that side of the country.
