Pender Bay

For the first time this trip, yesterday we packed down the camper, ran a few last errands in Broome, and pointed the car north to head up to the Dampier Peninsula.

The campsite is a bit of a trek off the main road, so also the first test for the ‘off-road’ side of the car and Opus - handled it all with ease. The roads later in the trip are said to be much trickier, so not getting over confident just yet…

Centine was absolutely not in the mood for a drive, and Max asked if the next campsite would be another 3 day drive away - a bit of PTSD has slipped in I think! Both were relieved when we made it here so quickly.

Dampier is beautiful - full of life and majestic red cliffs against white sand and blue ocean. The water is clear enough to have a shallow paddle without fear of being eaten too, so the boys will be happy with a beach day today (after school).

We found the instagram cliffside bathtubs, and inspected the local hermit crab collection before getting an early night. Greeted by a sensational sunrise, and a cheerful baby, happily.Weiterlesen
