On our way out of Elliston we drove around the scenic clifftop where the locals have constructed "sculptures on the cliff". We also took a walk along the historic jetty where we talked to a couple who had two days to get to Perth. As we had 20 days to get to Perth it made our travels look a little less daunting. We headed out of Elliston to our next camp spot Perlubie Beach.

Sculptures on the Cliff |
We watched an amazing storm build up over the ocean at
Streaky bay and when we got to Perlubie Beach we watched an amazing lightning
show. Fortunately for us the storm did
not hit our camp site.
We set up camp right on the beach and it was a great
little place with some swings on the beach and thatched shelters for
shade.
At Perlubie Lachlan had his first row on the kayaks all by himself and Craig learnt to walk on water.
The big boys and two eldest sons went for a half a day fishing at Hallys beach but unfortunatley did not catch much.

One of the shelters was reserved for a 21st on the Saturday night and there was going to be a live band playing on the beach. We were looking forward to a beach party and some live music. The night before the party we realised that the tide was going to come up quite high and we were a bit worried that the water would come all the way up to our tents. At 11.00pm the tide was creeping up so Brett built a wall of sand around the tents to keep the water back, if he had not done that we may have been swimming in it. As the tide was going to be even higher the next night we really had no option but to pack up and leave. Unfortunately we missed the beach party and the kids were a bit sad that they were not going to hear some live music.
