Guilderton ***** Well worth the trip!
We arrived at Guilderton, where the Moore river meets the sea, at 9:30am. First stop was the lighthouse. You can't go in but great for a pic :) There are a few sandy tracks that set off from the lighthouse which made for brilliant sandy 4x4 fun! Be sure to let your tyre pressure down, it gets very boggy.The beaches were lovely and scattered along the shore were some gorgeous rocky outcrops and little carverns. The kids had a blast climbing in and around the rocks. It was quite windy and getting close to lunch so we decided to look for a park to eat at, away from the wind.
The GABBADAH PARK was lovely. The kids played with daddy while I got lunch ready. We had tomato and cheese sandwiches and the bubs had kiwi fruit and yoghurt mmmmm. The kids had fun rolling down the grassy hills at the park and played on the playground. There were some lovely statues throughout the park also.
After lunch we headed to the look out over the Moore River estuary. The view was lovely and we took some amazing pics for the album. There is a plaque at the look out which speaks of the ships that became shipwrecked here, one of which has since disappeared. The river looked very inviting so we headed down for a dip.
The kids enjoyed playing in the water and building sand castles. It was a little too cold for me!! There are also canoes for hire, so if you like you can make your way up the river via canoe which would be lovely. We will definitely come back and go canoeing. Unfortunately it was time for us to leave as we wanted to stop at two rocks on the way through.
TWO ROCKS was quite nice. There is a huge statue of posiedon and a smaller statue of dolphins, both made great pics. We visited "The Spot" halfway between Two Rocks and Yanchep. A nice little beach situated next to a UXO site, unexplored for ammunition. There are toilets at this beach which aren't to shabby. Jayden and daddy did some fishing and caught a huge bundle of seaweed lol. Meanwhile, Carter enjoyed looking for crabs in the holes scattered along the beach. This beach is also good for a surf if your keen :)
We left "The Spot" and headed home. We saw a construction site, great for some 4x4 action. Others had the same idea out there on motorbikes. Was great fun... but shhhhh, dont tell the council haha :)
Loved your article, hit the nail on the head. The Two Rocks carvings in the limestone are of dolphins, and King Neptune though.
