DeGREY RIVER & FURTHER NORTH TO 80 MILE BEACH

 After a few days taking in the sights around Marble Bar it was further along we went. Taking a short cut back to the highway we came upon some water.

 

 

 Looking further along the river bed there wasn't much water to be seen.

 

 Searching for the perfect camp spot beside the De Grey River.

 

 It was pretty good. We stayed for 5 days.

 

 

 Catch of the day???????

Pancakes for brecky.

 

 A blue Kookaburra.......amazing.

It was off to 80 Mile Beach. A nice little oasis. A fisherman's paradise we were told. We only wish we could even talk about the one that got away.

 

 

 

  Tide's out

 

 

We never get sick of a good sunset and the ones we were treated to here were wonderful

 

 

 Is there nothing this handyman can't fix???

 

 

 

 

 

TRAVELLING THE WARLU WAY

 

Leaving Karijini we headed westwards towards the coast along the Warlu Way. Scenery still spectacular. Plenty of red dirt as we venture along some outback roads.

Onwards towards Karratha

 It was good to get the sand between the toes at Cleaverville Beach.

Cossack is an historic ghost town 15 km from Roebourne. It was the first town settled in north west WA in 1866 and a major town site until the pearling industry move further north to Broome.

 

 

 Travelling towards Port Hedland........amazing scenery.

We left Port Hedland and headed out to Marble Bar. What an amazing place it is out there.

 A few cows decided to visit the campsite

 The elder member found this to be an amusing sign to be found on an outback dunny some 50 km from Marble Bar

We had a few beers, caught up with friends and a "heart attack waiting" pizza.

30 kms out of town was this abandoned secret WW2 airbase. You could still make out the runway, various buildings and where they used to camouflage the planes.
