Lunch in Point Samson with James and Beth

Today’s planned fishing trip had to be cancelled as the wind was too strong to take our boat out. Russ had made lunch so we packed it in the car and went out to Point Samson to visit James and Beth.

They are in a really pretty caravan park right on the beach-it’s small and much less formal than this one! They have a pub, restaurant and small supermarket on the grounds so it’s very convenient. The caravan sites are much smaller than here though. James ordered them take away fish and chips from the restaurant, we ate our rolls (and a small serve of chips) and we had a couple of bottles of wine over a very long leisurely lunch. It was great fun and so nice sitting outside in the beautiful weather.

On the way home we stopped and looked at Wickham (fairly unattractive) and it’s beach. We had to wait for an iron ore train more than 2ks long on the way to the beach (it was a very long wait). After that we had a look around the historic town of Roebourne (sometimes very unattractive and at other times quite impressive). We considered calling into the Sobering Up Centre in town, but had to get home for a glass of wine!

Another enjoyable day in Karratha. I really like it here, but it’s winter now, I don’t think I could cope with the hot summer days when the temperature regularly goes over 37c.
