Cape Keraudren

This is what we called the aircraft carrier...its about 14ft tall and covered in small oysters. We walked out at low tide and climbed up the back of the rocks onto the top. The following shots are of our view from the van of the rock at different tides..also the rock is about 150ft long. At low tide you can walk out and at high tide it goes under water..




This is our ranger coming to collect fees but every morning he would have a kick of the footy with Billy. He said it was his exercise for the day...Billy loved it..
This little guy guarded the toilets and didnt let any riff raff in... I sure wasnt gonna argue with him..There were actually three of these humungus bulls roaming around the Cape and they just cruised thru the camp any old time they felt like it...
The locals were very friendly and this one was lookin for a feed...
Who said Oysters dont grow on trees????????????????

Karajini National Park

This is our camp at Dales Gorge. Note the lovely grassy sites. Red Dust love it.
These are 2 criminals I picked up. We are actually warming ourselves in the sun just after sunrise as it was only 2 degrees at dawn.
Meet Ranger Bill. He was given a work sheet to complete which he did and passed with flying colours and in return he became a Junior Ranger and he thought that allowed him to boss us around. As you can see my sewing skills have never improved..bit crooked.
One of the many lookouts overlooking the gorges which were approx 100m deep.
This is at Circular Pool at the end of Dales Gorge.
Billy and Deni took a shine to this piece of amazing rock. It was far too heavy to bring home AND Ranger Billy put his foot down and told us we couldnt bring it out of the Nat Park.
Billy building rock towers throughout the park.
Family shot at Fortesque Falls.
We had a swim here at Fern Pool, water was freezing except for the top 12inches.
Check out the colour formations in the rocks.
This is at Hancocks Gorge just before the Spider Walk. We couldnt make it as it was a bit hairy waiting for Billy to drop off the rock walls.
As you can see in this shot Dave wasquite high up with only rock below to cushion his fall. It was an amazing walk.
This was a long wide load that stopped us on the way home. It took up the entire HWY. We were so glad we didnt have to follow it as they moved at about 10klm per hour.

Sockos place in Port Hedland

We were camped in Sockos back yard and this is the view from our van. The iron ore ships come right in to within a few hundred metres of the shore as they go thru the narrow channel into the harbour. Not much else you can say bout Port Hedland, its pretty much a mining town.

Millstream National Park

Millstream was a gorgeous place. We stayed at Crossing Pool and this shot was taken right in front of our campsite in the late afternoon. It was a great swimming hole.
As you can see, Deni is fully relaxed while Billy cooks dinner again...He's getting very good at it too.
These 2 are of our campsite.
Another angle with a full view of Billys flat on the right. Dave is sorting out our plans for the day with Rangers in background.
We climbed to the top of Mt Herbert and added some rocks to the rock towers up there. Everywhere you go you find these towers. You are supposed to add 1 rock but theboys got carried away. As you can see in the background there is a whole lot of nothing. It is sooo barren in some areas.

40Mile Beach

This is our view from our campsite at 40 mile beach and we had to wake up to this every morning...
Our neighbour Derick was teaching Billy the Didge after a couple of beers. (none for Billy of course)
Even though he looks like he's had a couple. He actually picked it up really well. We were all surprised.
Billy wanted to make a spear so Dave gave him the whittling knife and let him go for it. It took up a few hours of the day.
