Karratha Sunny, 30 degrees. Ben was working this morning so we had a lazy day off today. Lauri took Ben to work at 6am just in case we wanted to use the car. I had a quick dip in the pool before breakfast. It was very cold... Brrr!!!! It is under the shade sail so at this time of the year doesn't heat up much. Of course in the summer months it is much more user friendly. We went to the supermarket for a few things and had a look at Karratha town. It i...

Karratha Sunny, 30 degrees. This morning we left for a trip to Millstream National Park with Ben. It was paved road at first but later was gravel, but the road was still good. First up we went to the Millstream Homestead. It is very isolated but people had been farming there since the mid 1850's. The original homestead had been destroyed by a cyclone, but the one that still that survives until today was built in 1914. It is still in great condition, wi...

Yannarie River to Karratha Sunny, 30 degrees Woke up about 8.30am to another sunny morning. After breakfast we packed everything up for the trip up to Ben's house.

And lots of trees and shrubs and quite green shrubs in sections. Then closer to Karratha it was quite flat again but lots of grasslan...

Exmouth to Yannarie River Sunny, 29 degrees Left the caravan park in Exmouth just after 10. Got some fuel and then headed back along the Cape Range.

The tide was well in this time. So quite different to the other day when it was low tide. It was quite busy down there, lots of peop...

Exmouth Sunny, 28 degrees Another lazy day for us today. This morning at breakfast we were joined by the resident emus, all looking for a handout! Which they didn't get I'm afraid! There are three of them, tame as can be, but there are signs around saying not to feed them as they can be aggressive. Later we went for a walk first of all to the whale shark festival fair at the oval. Not a lot there really. Then went to the town and to IGA to stock up on a ...
