Did a couple of loads of washing this morning and made a picnic lunch. We drove out towards Dampier and turned off up the road towards the gas plant where we had been told to go see the aboriginal rock art there. As it is not sign posted we followed instructions by the Visitor Centre and found the track. The etchings on the rocks were hard to find to start with but then once you see one and look around you can see lots of the art on the rocks. Different to the ot...

We had to be at the Visitor Centre to start the Resource Tour by 10 to 9. After a short DVD we set off in the bus towards Dampier. On the way just opposite the airport we stopped to look at the salt works and our guide Anna gave a talk about how it all worked. We then went on to the jetty area in Dampier to see the iron ore stock piles, trains filled with ore and how it is loaded onto the ships-amazing! We then went to a nice area on the foreshore for some drinks...

We started off the day early as I had to take Gerry out to the golf club to meet David and Julie Burke by 8.15 am. I went for my 3.5 km walk again but a bit concerned about roaming dogs so might have to change course. Did some shopping whilst waiting for the folders to finish then picked Gerry up and we all went back to the shopping centre for lunch. Gerry had to sign some papers at the Commonwealth Bank and he then had a hair cut. We came home and Gerry washed t...

Went for my walk this morning - 3.5 klms after breakfast. Gerry continued with trying to clean the van. We then decided to take a drive over to Cossack as there was an Art Show on there. Cossack is a small historic town which is now defunct and some of the buildings have been restored. It was once filled with gold prospectors but after 50 years the pearling industry had moved to Broome and gold fields further afield were more attractive so the town closed. Now it...

This morning was set aside for laundry. Luckily I was the only person with this in mind so by 9 am I had four loads pegged out in the lovely sunshine. Expected top today is 28. After a few jobs down the street the laundry was dry by 11 am so a good job done. We had arranged to meet David and Julie Bourke for lunch at the Tambrey Centre where I think Shane worked about 20 odd years ago. After lunch David and I thrashed Gerry and Julie in a couple of games of pool....
