Work in Port Hedland didn't eventuate, not interested in short term but we stayed for a week anyway. Phil had a trip to the reef fishing , 50 kms out with Pat and his father and had great success bagging spankled and red emporer, cod and chinaman, 27 in total. Perfect weather warm and flat.
We checked out all the sights of P H, done the iron ore tour, salt piles and generally relaxed, getting the hang of this touring.
Caught up with Graham and Christine Lamprey staying in the same park and had a very noisey get together at Pat's for a fish feast.
Port Hedland is very expensive, housing rent up to $2500 a week plus paying around a million for a three bedroom home.
Moved onto a beauiful spot at 80 mile beach which is still recovering after last years cyclone.Great spot for shells and fishing. Fishermen lined up for kilometers after threadfin salmon and mulloway( around 10 kilograms). Now coming into beautiful sunrises and sunsets.
We are currantly at Barn Hill station camped on another beaut beach, swimming and fishing, hard to decide when to leave. Phil's even got a suntan happening. Sunday night we had a 3 course roast and entertaining aborigine family band, shared under the stars with 220 other campers.
Next stop Broome.
