      Willie Creek - Dampier Peninsula

      September 25, 2021 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C

      Wirrkinymirre to the locals.

      Such a change to be on the coast. Cooler temps with a marked difference between day and night.
      The beaches are white, the sea shells are plentiful, the helicopter traffic is quite amazing and I guess that is the FIFO phenomenon or perhaps military. Caution is still required with Crocs in the water, with 2 big males and some accompanying females. The advice is not to camp in the one place for more than 72 hrs. The crocs will watch and learn your routine. After that, trouble and strife will follow.
      A most amazing thing is the tidal difference of just over 8 meters which transforms this place. A narrow beach suddenly becomes an expanse of rock shelves and big drop offs. At low there is a meandering channel off our camp site, but when the tide rushes in we look straight out to sea. It also a makes for an interesting satellite image.
