Barn Hill & beyond

We didn’t go very far when we left Broome, just 150km or so down the road to Barn Hill, a beachside camp on a station. We drove through lots of bushfires on the way in, and it turned out that the fires were all on this station’s property. The fires got quite close to where people were camped. Our mates Kerry & Greg (who we bumped into YET again!) told stories of falling embers and smoked filled caravans the night before we got there. The wind swung around to a sea breeze which meant the campground wasn't in danger any more, but the back burning meant that the fires and smoke were very close to us.

It was a good spot this one – a beautiful long beach in front of red cliffs. Tim fished a while from the beach, we took long wandering walks, it was great for a couple of days! And our tent was invaded by a pair of killer centipedes late at night, which freaked Tim out for an hour or two!




And then further south to the stark but beautiful Cape Keraudren where we stopped for the night, right next to the spot that marked the northern start of the Rabbit Proof Fence. Which was kind of cool, because we also love the southern end of the Rabbit Proof Fence!
