Update about Barn Hill

image image image imageLeave tomorrow after 2 weeks here!! We have finally caught some fish!! Yum Spanish Mackeral !! We have had numerous walks on the beach ! Swimming has been amazing until on a walk two afternoons ago i say to Greg why would there be a log on the edge of surf there!   Closer inspection a 5foot croc !! Once he saw us he slowly disappeared!  By the time we finished our walk 40 mins later he was down were us campers swim close to some rock pools!  Everybody had down to the beach with binoculars etc!!! Not only that but a big shark decides to cruise by ! Hence no one has been swimming the last two days!! We sat in rock pools today with the waves crashing over us, such fun, as it has been a very hot 37 and hot hot winds!!  (13th sept) Sooo were heading 200km  down south tomorrow to eighty mile beach !! No swimming as heaps of sharks but good fishing mmm well see!  This beach apparently  has hundreds of different shells!  probably stay a couple of  days here before we head to Port Headland further down the coast ! An  industrial town !

Barn Hill Cattle Station!

Sunday night roast 3 course meal! Put on by the owners of the station! Only $17 a head! Plus a band!! A bit of fun !!

imageimageWe spent a couple of days back in Broome after getting back from our trip to Cape Leveque , had a catchup with our friends from a previous camp before heading to Barn Hill only a 100kms down the road! Once again over looking the beach ! We have run into 3 different lots of fellow travellers here that we have meet over the last 3 months!! So yes some good happy hours! Not so busy here as most of the retirees have headed back home! Victorians mainly!! A pretty good fishing spot also, tho we are a bit slow off the mark!! As usual we have been given some fish !!! The beach is on the Indian  Ocean so we are careful  not to go out to far in case of sharks!! Tho have been told more of a problem further down south!! Still we have seen one close to shore about a 4-5 foot! Eeeeeekkkk ! The Western Australia coastline is amazing  with its rich colours!

Cape Leveque

imageimageBeach huts you could rent over looking the beach! Open to the sea and you put your swags down or a small tent could fit inside.image  imageKOOLJAMAN at the top of the Cape! The rock formation was amazing, different times of  the day and sunset gave you the vibrant deep reds! The colour is called Pindan Red and all this raw beauty is part of the Kimberley Coastline! This camp is run by the Indigenous Bardi Jawi Communities !situated on native title land!

Middle Lagoon!image image imageOnce again we had to deal with corrugated roads and red dust!! Put van in storage for the week! There are camps all the way up offering difference experiences !!! Some you pay and others are free !! Of course the free ones have no facilities !! We stayed at Middle Lagoon $30 a night and it was here we did our whale watching ! Sat on the cliff  nearly all day, as there were  so many humpback whales passing to head to a bay further up the coast to give birth!! Thank goodness we had a decent pair of binoculars ! Even then when I saw a yacht I thought a baby whale was following it but it was its dingy!  Saw whales breaching, playing with their calves ,splashing with their tails ,gosh the list goes on . What an amazing time here!! Heavy dew at night ment that anything left out at night was soaking in the morning and  this sometimes started from 6pm at night!! Once the sun rose we soon dried out ! Great swimming!
