Close to Cape Levique we turned off the road and drove 60 k for the only advertised Cappaccino 200k , Sharon would be proud of us. ( she is an expert coffee shop citizen ) – Whale Song Café – a tin shack perched on a precipice overlooking a spectacular Bay, a place where shoes are banned and the hippie couple that serve you are eking out a happy existence. We were one of two couples and they forgot half our order, sticky date and Blueberry pie.
When you arrive at Cape Levique, you stop for a moment - you have to take a deep breath – its all too much to take in at one glance. I realise something what Australia lacks in wild animals it certainly makes up for in coloured landscape. Here you see beaches that range from ice white, to light pink to dark orange framed by rocks of every imaginable colour, black volcanic rocks , red rocks, white and pink rocks – the sea is once again aquamarine to deep blue. Great swimming here the water is warm and there are no Box Jellie’s no salty crocks.
Whats really nice about this place is it caters for everyone. You can have a luxury cabin or a safari tent ( made in South Africa … pitched on a little wooden deck, complete with bed, cabinet and drawers inside and bedside lamp or just a shelter, made of grass , where you park your 4x4 , the shelter is made of grass and is perched on flat rocks – 20-30 meters from the sea.
Lu goes in to the office arrange the accommodation that Nic organised for us, I carefully lock the car and follow. We have a great lunch at the restaurant with its outback architecture collect our sheets and towels and head for our safari hideout , back at the car I have left the side door open and the back of the van ajar – although both front doors are locked – Outback fever got me nothing matters out here.
Lu cooks Boerewors we found at Coles supermarket in Broome – Die Boere Kom. We chat to others and swop stories, sleep early – Tomorrow Fitzroy Crossing
