Gnaraloo ..... the surf trip and more

The word had reached the Cracknell household that this Gnaraloo spot was a place worth visiting for a surf. That was all that Pete needed and the destination was locked in! We made our way down another dirt track for 80km (no major issues this time) and found Three Mile Camp and booked in for 4 nights. We had a great camp site right next to the beach and the snorkeling was quite spectular in a little bay.

We camped along side Kathryn (Duke), John, Jack, Will and Pete Myers and spent time exploring the area. The boys found the sand dunes and had great fun surfing down the slopes doing all soughts of crazy tricks.











The waves were cranking and Pete and John enjoyed the challange of 4-6 foot waves at Tombies on the Saturday. Pete had the best surf of his life dropping into some heavy waves.

One final photo before we say good bye.

  1. Wow! You all look like you're having an absolute ball! Sorry I'm only just commenting on your amazing trip. Those waves Pete, man! Hope you were handy going left! All the boys look about a foot taller – and mum and dad seem to have smiles ear to ear. Its gonna be quite a slide show when you finally get back. Enjoy the open road. Seeya, Brad.
