Today we headed east to Mullewa to Mingenew for lunch we also saw hectares of wheat and connolour then, we went west back down the coast and arrived at cliff head and set up camp there were heaps of piles of sea grass at night we toasted marsh mellows on the fire then went to bed.

We left Geraldton and took State Route 123 out to Mullewa and then south approx 90 kms to Mingenew through miles and miles of farmland following the wildflower way.  We had coffee at a night little rustic coffee shop in Mingenew and spoke to some of the locals.  Pretty little rustic town with old world charm.  54kms west to the Coast of Mingenew we settled down for the night at a great free camp at Cliff Head North.
