This is part of the Perth to Broome series.

Geraldton – Hamelin Pool : 283kms/3hrs

Accommodation – Ampol Overlander Roadhouse
Roadhouse is a fuel station near a major road in an isolated area with simple lodging/accommodation next to it, usually runs/maintained by the same management.

Overlander Roadhouse is at the intersection from Indian Ocean Road going into Shark Bay/Monkey Mia.

Things to do along the way
1. Kalbarri National Park
2. Pink Lake (Hutt Lagoon)

Simple breakfast in Geraldton while explaining the trip stops to the kids. We felt that it is important that they knew how long the trip is.

Aydin vomited not long after we left Geraldton, I recalled it looked like a strawberry yogurt – mix of what he had for breakfast. Nothing serious, a quick wipe and change of clothes at the next small town of Binnu.

Tip
1. There is a another roadhouse about 40km from Overlanders – Billabong Roadhouse.
2. Standby a small bucket with plastic covering for vomit emergencies.
3. Can get noisy at night as trucks passes by. Had a large generator on site close to our room so there is humming all through the night. Best to ask for a room furthest away if possible.
4. No online booking for the rooms – you have to ring the roadhouse, make the booking and pay over the phone. Pray they don’t misplaced the booking logbook.

Until then – stay hungry, stay safe.
