Barn Hill Station and Eighty Mile Beach.


As residents of the east coast we still can't get our heads around the sun going down over the ocean. OK, the term "Slow Learners" is accepted but still - it goes down over the ocean, Having hugged the coast recently this is the norm so we will keep the sunset photos to a minimum.

 

BARN HILL STATION


Half a million acres in total including a small tourist enterprise which started with three mud huts. This quickly grew to the buzzing hub that it is today, catering for thousands of campers embarking on a Kimberley quest.


This year it included the Wilson's. One of whom caught 2 fish (neither big enough to keep and were returned to the deep). The quest for a legal fish in WA goes on.

It goes down over the ocean!!!!!
Rock formations behind the Beach. At times the sand is red.
 

EIGHTY MILE BEACH


Eighty Mile Beach lies along the north-west coast of Western Australia about half-way between the towns of Broome and Port Hedland. It is a beach some 220 kilometres in length, renowned as Australia's longest "uninterrupted beach". Leonie loved the caravan park - 1st time we've had grass for 4 months.



Romantic walks on the Beach - A must.
Leonie, the photo bomber...
What every well dressed fisherman wears.
Small Racehorse Goanna that decided to visit and enjoy the shade under Leonie's chair.
I managed to get the beach (light bit), the sea (darker bit) and the stars. :)
The absence of light up here makes night shots a breeze.
Poor little shark. Lots of fun but not what I was after - back he went.
The colours at dusk. AMAZING.
 

Thanks for following. Next stop Marble Bar (hottest town in Australia), then Port Headland.
