So yesterday was my birthday and we decided to have an easy day. Catch up on washing and do some shopping. It was a ublic holiday in Karratha but not sure why. But the town shops were nearly all open. Yes they have Kmart. So replaced a couple of white tshirts with coloured ones more approriate for the red dirt. Then spent rest of the day relaxing. Decided to go into the pool just to say I got to swim on my birthday in the winter. It was quite cold to...

So today we headed along the RIo Tinto access road to get to Karratha. Our intention was to go as far as Millstream national park and stay there for 2 nights.

We did make a 20 kilometre detour in...

Then it went flat again. Just after we turned onto highway one we had our first stop a...

Today we travelled around the end of the peninsula to Cape Range National Park to take a trip in a boat into Yardie creek gorge. Here we were able to see Black footed rock wallabies, an Osprey, a small sea turtle, rays and different types of fish. It was an enjoyable and informative hour. We then headed out of the park. On our way out we saw a black dingo. We had been informed that DNA testing had shown the dingo to be 90% pure. We were really lucky to s...
