Reaching the Edge of Perth

Leaving my fog lights on a few months ago, my car battery was drained and didn't have the juice to turn over  the engine. After a jump start, I needed to drive for 45 mins to recharge the battery, and so I did the obvious thing: drove north up the coast to find the edge of Perth. And this is it. The end of the road.

The sun was brighter up there. It dazzled me as if warning me to turn around and return to the safety of the known lands. The dunes stretched northwards, and a sea breeze whipped up an unwelcoming sandstorm.

I got the message and headed south again, excited at my adventure but relieved it was over.
