This morning we were able to pack up before the rain set in, and to set up at our destination in the dry too. There have been squally showers since arriving, which is apparently quite usual for this part of the coast in the winter. Unfortunately the caravan park does not have really good sites so there are quite a few puddles around.

| Jurien Bay harbour |
There is a good foreshore walk in Jurien Bay so we managed to walk the northern part as far as the harbour in between showers. The coastline all along here has a fringing reef dotted with many islands. This is the remains of a limestone ridge which has flooded when the sea levels rose at the end of the last ice age. The reef and islands protect the shore from the pounding seas and the islands, being feral free are also the last refuge of some endangered species. One of these is the delightfully named dibbler, which is a rat sized marsupial.
