Cape to Cape Walk, Day 5

A Hiker's Camp at Ellenbrook. A tornado may have hit The South West region. The rains are again very heavy, winds reaching 80 kph. We check out of the RAC Margaret River Nature Park and drive to Gracetown, intending to park a car there and a second car on Ellenbrook, allowing us to walk 7km. But the promise of the rain pelting down make us reconsider our plan. As well, we spent an hour helping a local change a broken tyre on his van. I asked John, the local, to help fix my bumper. By the time the sky clears up, it's early afternoon, so we eat pies in Gracetown. We meet John again. We chat a while until it's time to start our short walk at Ellenbrook. The campsite here is attractive. Cape to Cape campsites, unlike those at the Bibbulmun Track, come only with tent sites, rainwater tanks and picnic tables. Tonight, we stay at the Tasman Holiday Park on Yallingup Beach. Nearby is an old tavern. The chicken parmigiana here is large. Wednesday is Parmi night! We look forward to going home.
