After a few days in Broome we headed north to the Dampier Peninsula.
"Pender Pay Escape" - 30 kilometres of dirt and soft sand off the bitumen brought us to one of the most idyllic places we have camped. As you can tell by our campsite we had no power or water. We are set up for off grid camping using our solar, lpg gas and tank water - worked a treat!!!
I went fishing and NO, did not catch anything. Closest I got was a 50-60cm nurse shark that decided to swim around my feet while I was knee deep. Fun but no cigar.
We did, however, enjoy our swim each day in crystal clear turquoise water of the bay - bliss. A fire every night under the stars wasn't too shabby either :-)
Kooljaman Camp Site - After 5 nights at Pender Bay, on the advice of fellow campers, we decided we had to go further Nth. to Cape Leveque staying at Kooljaman Camp Site.
Due to the condition of the road in no caravans allowed so we left ours at a nearby bush camp and booked 2 nights in a "Deluxe Safari Tent" (very posh). Col got to practice his nighttime photography (we were both pretty happy with the results).
The Western Beach was amazing with the ochre coloured rocks, white sand and beautiful blue water, however swimming was not allowed due to the strong currents. Lucky for us the Eastern Beach was safe, more beautiful white sand and crystal clear water made for a few fun swims during our short time there. No crocs, apparently the sharks keep them away. :-)
A lucky bonus for us at Kooljaman was the café, spending more time at Pender Bay than we anticipated and not originally intending to go any further north we were running out of food. Still had plenty of alcohol for
Col though :-) lucky for us food at the café was great!!!!!!
