Another day off for Chris, due to the copper shed closed. oh well. gives us a chance to have more off a look around these parts. I decided it was time for a sea change, so we went north of Port Hedland for about 150 km, then on a gravel road out to Cape Keraudren.
A very popular camping area in a National Park. Lots of campers all around the headland. Looking north you can see the start of the popular 80 mile beach.
There is a number of basic facilities as well as a ranger on duty. Quite sheltered as well, from the WA winds.
This is also the start of the rabbit proof fence.
So much went into this in the early days, but was a big failure. all that remains here now is a stone fence and a couple of plaques.
We drove into all the camp areas, including a couple on the beach
Had a picnic lunch ,[ no takeaway shops in these parts, no water for that matter]. It was a nice day, and an area, neither of us have been before, we would be happy to go there again, with the van, for a few days fishing. have not seen so many large fish being caught before.
Think they were Taylor or Salmon. The people fishing in the area we were watching, were catching them on every throw out, just amazing.
Of cause we didn’t know of this, and so didn’t have our fishing gear with us. Bugger ! Home in time to cook frozen fish, out of a packet for dinner….
