^th
April, DampierDampier Caravan ParkCost $39 per night Rated by us 5/10Mileage 16747 travelled 0Late rise after a cool night thanks to thye air con, so glad we got it working, the night temperatures still been in the high 20’s and humid.We had a slow drive around Karratha and Dampier, not much for tourists but then it is a mining, shipping town. G is enjoying watching the ships load and I found a sign with some interesting fun facts about the port. The work that goes on here is fascinating, not sure why there are so many people live here just for the port as the mines are all inland. The one port we are looking at loads 16 ships per week with a blended iron ore all going to china, you cannot help but think that it is unsustainable long term.The beach such as it is with lots of rocks is directly across the road, Tippy is enjoying his walks on the beach and in the ocean, still not swimming but loves paddling in the shallows and it helps keep him cool. Camp site is red dirt surprise surprise but small and quiet with clean facilities, has all we need.
