Port Samson

Hi,
Well we are in Port Samson, just north of Karratha after staying at Pardoo Station and watching the cattle muster and then camping out at a place called De Grey River which was great except that it was very windy.

Port Samson is very nice, 34 degrees, blue sky, blue sea and white sand.

We went on a tour of Rio Tinto's iron ore facility at Cape Lambert. Very interesting and informative. The size of the operation is simply unbelievable.

We leave here on Tuesday to camp at Cleaverville Beach which is only about 40 k's from here with no facilities but blue water and white sand. Apparently there is good fishing there but if I am to be successful they will have to be suicidal.

Probably won't have internet access there so it may be a while before I can report in again.

Barn Hill Station

Well, well, well. Would you believe it, 36 degrees yesterday and today 12 hours of solid rain. Go figure!

I guess we are cutting it a little fine in judging our travel south to be just ahead of the build up to the wet season whilst not getting too far south before it warms up.

Gee, I don’t know the stress of having to make all these decisions is almost as tiring as working.

We are currently at Barn Hill Station where the camping ground is on rich red cliffs overlooking a usually aqua Indian ocean. They bake fresh bread every day and have a bowling green overlooking the ocean

When we leave here, whenever that is, we will head down to a place called DeGrey’s River on the way to Port Headland.

Will update then. Cheers.

Introduction to the blog

Hi All,
This is my first attempt at blogging so please  excuse my lack of knowledge.

We are currently in Broome and it is very hot. We have been on the road for over 5 months now and are having a great time. We have met some lovely people on the way and hopefully will have started some long friendships while missing our friends from home.
As I get better at this I will download photos etc.
