Karratha

Yesterday we left very sadly our wonderful spot at Exmouth to travel on to Karratha. We stopped the night beside the Robe River at a free camp together with more than 25 vans! We certainly felt very safe there and had a fantastic night’s sleep.

In the morning we set off for Karratha and caught up on the shopping and had a quick look around. A mining town it is and for us not all that exciting. Expensive at the caravan park at $50.00 and we were very pleased to have only booked one night.

Our next stop is at Point Sampson which is only 50kms further on but we’ve been told swimming is great so that will be something to look forward to.

I forgot that we had taken some great pictures of Turquoise Bay so am putting them up today, especially after Pete’s comments on seeing his father in a rashy which I thought he would have applauded as excellent sun protection. There is no pleasing some is there? Just wait till he sees Suey in hers ….. maybe not!

G'day Sue and Ian
Well all I can say is your stories are only making our mouth water and wishing the day we can do it would come faster. I have a little concern - there has been no mention of beer or for that matter any such fare for a number of posts. Don't get me wrong for a while there I thought the trip was just an excuse for a big pud crawl. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Anyway love the posts and happy trails. 8 weeks and we are off to Flinders Ranges so Di is catching up on "Grandma" time now.
Love the patto's
