Cape Leveque… There are absolutely no words to explain the terrain or the undulating coastline views. We spent a magical night and two days there enjoying the nearly deserted coastline and camping park. We understood why you can’t take caravans there as the 200km trip is half 4WD track. I can totally appreciate the merits of an off road camper trailer!
This whole area is Aboriginal territory and so each new community that we visited required a permit and fee. We were told not to miss the bread baked at the Lombadi Community store so we followed the old, hand drawn, photocopied map and eventually made our way there. The bread was still warm and we tore into it in the car, not even waiting for butter. It was scrumptious and we could taste the ground fire in it.
We arrived at our accommodation; safari tents. Such a novel and creative option for bush camping. We were more than comfortable. We spent the day exploring the many beaches, hardly seeing anyone then returned to “our beach” to snorkel and collect shells and then watch the most spectacular sunset. The beaches are so pretty with blinding white sand and turquoise water. The contrast between the red dirt and rugged rocks and the ocean is such a feast for the eyes.
I woke early the next day and got some great shots of the sunrise before crawling back to bed for a sleep in.
We spent the day at the beach again, although I underestimated the strength of the sun and got a tad burnt.
A magical experience that really has to be experienced to be appreciated. Cape Leveque has captured us, our hearts and there is a definite peacefulness and serenity here that we haven’t experienced anywhere else. Ray and I plan to come back one day for a much longer visit.
