From Dandaragan, we moved to our next base camp which was north of Jurien Bay and at Sandy Cape. We found a nice beachside⛱ spot to nestle in for a couple nights, which was great.
The following day we trekked down to The Pinnacles Desert Nambung for a look. Such a unique place which literally makes you feel like your on another planet🏜. We grabbed some happy snaps and also ran into Anthony, a fellow traveller doing a lap of Oz. TIP: Rusty was happily napping back at our van, BUT if your driving through with dogs, we got told the ranger station in Cervantes has dog kennels you can use for free while you nip into the Pinnacles 👍🏼.
We then headed straight to the ‘lobster shack’ in Cervantes for lunch. Kurt got the half lobster🦞 and Amz opted for a simple fish and chips. A nice large restaurant, a bar and plenty of seating inside and outside. It was very busy with overseas tourists, when we were there. On our way out of Cervantes we ducked into Lake Thetis💦 to see some stromatolites!
Whilst camped at Sandy Cape, we also did some day trips up around Green Head, Milligan Island, into Jurien Bay and out to the Stockyard Gully Cave 🔦. We even headed to a local snorkeling spot and found some underwater pinnacles! A total of 5 nights we spent at Sandy Cape campground. We loved watching the sunsets 🌅over the ocean, chatting to the fellow campers and just relaxing ocean side again.
Next stop up to Geraldton!

I like that you guys hit the main points around the area. The Coral Coast has a ton of top spots, North Head/Seal Island/Sandy Cape are all very good. The west coast is very different from the east coast and you need to be careful not to get to involved with where's best place but just enjoy what we've got in Australia 💖

It brought back memories for me as I was in that area a number of years back - so beautiful. Well done on the pork roast BTW. I’m looking forward to more to come. Good onya Sparkys.

Great video guys I’m glad you finally made to sandy cape how beautiful is it. I’ve been to that cave. It was 26 years ago on a 40 degree day traveling in a 4x4 L300 Mitsubishi van with our baby girl. It was scary trying to keep her cool.the aircon was crap. We were staying at the Leeman shacks at the time which are now unfortunately knocked down. Our friend John burns sadly drowned in that area bringing in a net . So there’s a little memorial keg they put there for him on the coast line. He was a great guy ex Vietnam. On a less morbid note guys hehehe 😂 the videos you guys got was beautiful with a lot drone shots Which I loved. Thanks guys stay safe and cool she’s warming up now.🥵

There is so much to explore along that coast. One day we will get round to really checking it all out properly. It is a shame the old shacks have all gone and and even bigger shame I didn't take more pics when they were still along the coast. I am wondering how long ago you shot this as looking at the beach just before the cave section, it looked like Milligan Island and there is a big campsite there. The rotisserie looks great, can't get the pork skin that crispy in the Baby Q.

Great video guys! I just did a quick calculation on the pinnacles. 150 thousand visitors probably means 150 thousand cars since they charge entry per car not per person. That equates to 2.25 million dollars. Not a bad earner for the government since all they have to do is maintain a sand track... LOL

Always low range 1st gear in them situations, as soon as you brake through to soft sand it's game over. I could've gone forwards more but it was more softer. At least the tracks didn't come out.

I have the anti stall in the Defender so it can crawl without need of braking, and another thing to always remember turn off the brake controller. Or like you said game over!
