6 MONTHS ON THE WALLABY

POINT SAMSON WA TO QUOBBA STATION

We left Point Samson on Saturday 7 July and drove to Karratha.  We went to a garage sale in Karratha and I bought a used fishing rod.  I am starting to get the fishing bug.  We also went and bought Tori a fishing rod so we can all go fishing together. We then drove to a freecamp on the Robe River.  

Tori and I decided to try our rods out.  Fish weren't biting though.

We left the following morning and headed for another freecamp called Barradale.

Not much grass but it was okay for the night.

When we left Barradale we headed for a place on the beach called 14 Mile Beach.  This was down 15klms of dirt road which was worse than all the others.  The corrugations were so bad there were times you could only do 5 kph. 

But the end result was well worth it.  The white sand and blue water was a sight to behold.  This area is the start of the Ningaloo Coral Reef so you will see in the next photo the waves crashing way out.

We also did a bit of fishing but didn't catch anything.

Here on 14 Mile Beach the caravans can camp right on the sand.  There were no spots on the sand when we got there so we camped the other side of the sand dunes which was fine by us.

We left on Wednesday 11 July.  Our next place was the Quobba Blowholes and then a night at Quobba Station.  The blowholes were awesome!  And the noise it made was a real buzz.

The coastline here is very rugged as you can see.  Last week 3 tourists drowned whilst climbing on the rocks and a couple of days ago a fisherman drowned off Quobba Station.

The next photo is us camped at Quobba Station.  We only stayed one night as we wanted to move on.

The nights are starting to get chilly and my jacket is on more often now.  But the days are still beautiful and warm.  We will leave tomorrow, 12 July and head to Carnarvon.  Cheers!!
