We spent 5 lovely days up on the Dampier Peninsular. Found some fabulous fishing spots we will definitely come back to ! After 'supplying up' in Broome we started our journey South to Perth. First stop was Barn Hill, a cattle station that has ocean frontage! They have a large camping area which is a mecca for fisherman. The beach is unusual with white sand but the beach cliffs are red. We watched the sunset, it was lovely with a full moon and as the sunset it lit up the cliffs to a dazzling orange / red.
We are heading for Karijini National park for a few days then on to Exmouth and Ningaloo Reef. Yesterday we drove through Port Headland, it is an interesting place. Mining, mining,mining. There are thousands of mine cars, road trains, and the rail trains have too many carriages to count. The port is huge and a hive of activity. It must of been crazy when the mining boom was at its peak. Last night we just camped alongside a dry creek bed, nestled in among the paperbarks and wattle trees and had a BBQ campfire.
