Day 17 - Dampier 13th July 2015

Restless sleep last night! Wind was howling and I had visions of our caravan being swept up 'wizard of Oz' style and landing in another part of our Oz lol! Survived the night and after a yummy pancake breakfast we went off on a day exploring led by our capable guide Ken.

First down to Hearson's Cove which I'm sure would have been a lovely place to swim was it not blowing a gale! The kids liked the story though of how it was named Hearson's Cove after the man Hearson shot himself in the butt!

Then spent a couple of hours exploring the national park area and seeing the Aboriginal paintings and rock art. Although hard to pick them out at first it soon became more clear and it was quite fascinating looking at things that were done 10000-30000 years ago!

After lunch we all went off to the park while Ian went in to Karratha to get a new battery for the caravan ($385 thank you very much!😁). Caught up with Pete Norman for a drink and then had a yummy dinner thanks to Judy and Chris. Dinner was followed by a very animated Bingo night which was great fun for all -especially the winners!
