Friday morning went to the visitors centre, then went for a drive around the place and checked out the new marina development it will be a very nice setup when finished. Quite surprised about so many houses being built with galvanized iron cladding even the Novatel Hotel, in years past this was just for tin sheds. We both had our hair cut by a lady in the caravan park saving about $30 from getting it done down the street. She did a very good job. Then went out to...

Went for a bit of a walk and a chat with Julio this morning then headed for Exmouth. The road out is really really rough the corrugations are so bad. About half way we saw a tank track heading off in sort of the way we wanted to go.

We saw heaps of goats, generally in their families with a male, female and a couple of kids. At one stage there were three quite young kids that came dancing up to our van. ...
