Barn Hill

Left Broome, one new radiator and one power steering pump later! We arrived at Barn Hill (about 150km south) early afternoon. It’s a beautiful spot. A working cattle station called “Thangoo” about 43,000 acres in size, stretching 85km on the coast between Broome and Port Hedland. There is a “cairn” on top of the rock hill, left there by Alexander Forrest during his expedition to the Kimberleys in 1879.

The caravan park amenities have corrugated iron walls and no roof so you can sit and gaze at the stars and our site is on the edge of a cliff overlooking the ocean, magic!

Mark spent some time fishing today and caught a (small) yellow fin bream. We figure he can now relax as he can say he "did a bit of fishing" around Oz. I'm sure there'll be some surf somewhere soon.... 

Enjoyed the beach, the rocks formations (again) were amazing and Charlie enjoyed his Charlie sized rock pools. It is a protected area so couldn’t collect any shells or rocks and of course there were some beauties. Spent most of the day on the beach, only to be coaxed off by homemade (by the station) vanilla slices, heaven! Spent a very lazy afternoon (becoming bit of a habit) watching the sun go down over the Indian Ocean from our campsite.
