Normans Beach

Our car has been having a bit of trouble with a slight overheating issue, so we booked it into a place in Albany to get the car looked at in a few days time.  So instead of heading straight to Albany we decided to camp at Norman’s Beach for a few days, another beautiful campsite - this time on the inlet just back from the beach.  We were at Normans Beach from the 9th Feb to the 12th Feb.

There was lots of friendly wildlife at this campsite, a family of 6 magpies would join us each meal hoping we would share our food with them and then they would come in and eat anything they could find in and around the table afterwards.  Also a goanna wandered to the campsite each day, it would go under our caravan and poke around all the campsites.

At the beach it was windy and the surf was huge and rough - not suitable for a swim, but we did manage a swim in the inlet next to our campsite one day and that was nice and refreshing.

On another day we walked along the beach to the western end and found another intlet,  the kids had collected cuttle fish bones along the beach, some of them were very big and they made fantastic "boats".  We ended up spending and hour or two at this inlet playing with our "cuttle fish boats" and making a huge castle with its own river system for a moat.

The Beauty of the beaches in this area of WA never ceases to amaze us
