Take a look at we missed at Xmas
Lots of sneezing during the night,,,Outside was very windy and Motorhome doing a lot of swaying (and NO im not doing what people might think I’m doing because of rhythmatic bus movement !!!) Apparently this camp site was devastated last December when a Cyclone hit have a look at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adEk9M3gFHQ Take alook what we missed Xmas the campsite has its own mini market selling household stuff plus camping equipment. We have learnt how to put guy ropes on our canopy & will buy matting for the floor area( very popular with Motorhomes/caravans etc & turns the canopy area into another room At the moment it is too windy to put the awning ( canopy ) up Evening we went to BBQ area and coked the last of our RSL meat raffle winnings !! The area is nicely set up with concrete tables & very clean Tonight’s crowd were very chatty and have travelled from Adelaide (where we are eventually heading before our UK trip in Nov) Wind played havoc with our Satellite dish BUT was stable enough for Annie to watch her fav prog (Doc Martin)
This Pic needs to be on its own !!
Chips anyone?
Just a few word !!!! More pics soon
Up earlyish & off to Tom Price(90 Kms from here)scenery was fascinating.Tom P very tidy & clean (Mining Town) Highlight on the way back was an Ore train that was at least 2 kilometres long carrying iron ore.Started going down an 80 km track but bus shakin too much SO that particular trip was abandoned !!
Lazy day today at Kirijina Went for a walk along Gorges top and viewed the Circular Pool below Very spectacular. Happy Hour dwindled down to 4 now Everybody slowly moving out Our turn on Thursday .Must have eaten a bad sausage up most of the night with Heartburn !! OK now Travelled from Port Hedland towards Broome took a few pictures .There had been flash flooding & some creeks were starting to flow (we didn’t actually see any rain) Headed towards a bush fir but luckily we got thru (fire was relatively small compared to some of the horrendous fires here in Australia) Once again Huge Train trucks were in evidence & we even spotted a cyclist coming towards us miles from anywhere!! He actually gave us a wave !! we arrived at the 80 mile site after a ‘dodgy’ 9 km drive down a dirt road !! The place is busy and lots of events happening (to be reported at a later date) Sadly NO Internet signal .We have provisionally booked in for 5 nights. Took a walk on the beach (we are camped 30metres away) and there were lots of fisherman .The beach itself is a veritable treasure trove of shells ( I identified Cockle shells that were once in abundance on my local Blackpool beach from the 50.s Sadly no more) The BBQ area is set up nicely and once again met some interesting people (inc a group od oldish men having a few days break from their wives) they had cooked fish caught ealier.Another lady works the cafetreria at the MCG ( Melbourne Cricket Ground ) her husband is a Pig Boner (I was too scared to ask !~! but she a lovely lady)
