Day 74 Monday 27th June

Once again the weather today was beautiful, although the wind did pick up a bit this afternoon.
We drove about 75km north of Carnarvan today to the Blowholes and Point Quobba. First we came to a lighthouse and the view was remarkable. It showed long, flat areas as far as the eye could see. Rio Tinto has a salt operation up here on Lake McLeod.
The coastline is made up of limestone and coral and shells. There are flat ledges where the waves crash onto.
The Blowholes were amazing, shooting gusts of water into the air.                               
Point Quobba looked a great place to camp as there were a few shacks and vans there. There was also a lagoon, with great snorkelling.
