Day 18 - Tuesday 25th January - Betty's Beach - Albany

Well, time to move on.  The weather was kind, the rain cleared while we packed up the annexe.  We hope to "free camp" tonight and once again have no idea where, our back up plan is Cheyne beach which we have heard is lovely and there is a caravan park there if we get stuck.  The camping book says there is a good camping spot at Norman's beach, but it doesn't look that inviting when we get there.  Only a great race horse goanna and no other campers, a swampy, reeding looking inlet that looks like a nice spot for tiger snakes, we decide to move on. At the T junction we make a split decision to have a quick look at Betty's beach before we head to the caravan park.  Very glad we did, we stop to ask travellers if we will actually be able to turn around at the end of the road and they inform us it is a top spot for camping.  An old salmon fishing spot with a couple of derelict old shacks.  No power and about 6 vans and a few tents dotted around the grassy sand dunes.  One spot left with our name written on it!!!  A tricky manoeuvre to get the van into position and levelled, but once sorted, wow, what a little piece of paradise.  A beautiful bay, crystal clear water, snorkelling, washed rocks for the kids to explore and Mt Many Peaks as a back drop.  We think we could stay here forever.
