With Bec officially being all gorged out, we decided to leave Karijini and make our way up towards Point Samson and our legendary seafood platter. (probably hadn't mentioned this in previous blogs, but gossip around the water cooler was that Point Samson is home to the first, of many, must have seafood platters as one heads down the west coast!) Luckily, Bec still had a few dirt road adventures left in her, so we decided to take a short cut and head to Point Sam...

Having restocked with plenty of supplies and plotted our destination for the next few weeks, we hit the road with Point Samson next destination in the GPS. But...............after a few kilometres, it dawned on us that we would be better off heading down to Karijini National Park, as we wouldn't have to back track as much to fit in all we wanted to see (told Bec is wasn't such a good idea to organise these things over a few beers) So, we grabbed the GPS off the ...

Ahhhh........Big trucks, bigger ships and even bigger trains. Hunter's territory! Hi again.

Not...

So, with a bit of regret (as we were about to commence our southward journey), but with great excitement (as the west coast of Australia is the one place we really wanted to check out on our trip), we departed Broome, with the next stop being Port Smith. Port Smith is on the coast and is approx 160kms south of Broome, but is not on every map. It is one of the 'tips' we have received from other travellers we have meet along the way. By all reports, it is simply a...
