22nd Sept - Point Samson

As usual there in someone leaving at sparrow fart... and warming up the diesel ... we are up early again.... for a bit of exploring on foot, before it gets hot. But mostly planning a day off. Off to the beach Honeymoon Cove. When we all arrive there is an old and battered sign (which we missed the day before) "D.G.S P..H..B.T..D"(dogs prohibited) and being Saturday there were a bunch of people with kids... so we took Honey home - and gave here a wash. She has become a seriously pink dog. After drying her reasonably, she was lefty inside to dry a bit more while we are off for a proper dip in the Indian Ocean.

As the Point Samson fish and chips is apparently worth the 60km trip from Karratha we thought to give it a try for dinner. Eating out! It is under the pub. On the way we are joined by new (ex-pom) neighbours. It is a very good feed (and naturaally for around here, it is not cheap). After eating and talking for quite a while we are off to bed. Big day - washed the dog, went for a swim, out for dinner....  

Oh and had call from Ricky Martin, yes the guy from Fitzroy Crossing... seeing how we had got on. We have actually passed him and his missus at Barn Hill south of.... somewhere... Broome, I think. Delightful surprise.

Tomorrow we will head to Karratha to see Rod and Noelle, and then probably keep going...
