Wow there is sooo much going on up this way. There is a huge salt works here with its own jetty. They load the boats via a very long conveyor belt straight along the jetty onto the ship. There is also a boom with gas and the whole town has been taken over by construction/mining/salt workers. We were lucky to book into this park as it has about 50 or more dongas for workers. There is also 3 very large boats in the harbour which house workers and vans everywhere. Apparently this park had about 50 van sites before this boom, now they have about 19 sites left. They are building 60 apartments and heavens only knows what else.
The beach is amazing. Millions of shells and when the surf goes over them it makes a strange sound.
We drove about 50 km to see the old town which was on the Ashburton River but had to be moved as the mouth kept silting over and as most of their provisions came by ship this was too much of a problem.
The Ashburton River is large and there are plenty of free camps there..if only we had known.
Amazing sunset again standing on the beach and we have some great shells too. None that you would find in SA.
We are off to Ningaloo Marine Park free camping for 4 days so we will catch you later.
