Port Samson.

Tez and I arrived at Port Samson on our own as the others had gone into the Karajini National Park for a few days,and we were waiting for our van to be fixed.
We booked into the Cove Caravan Park, Just beautiful, only six years old privately owned,and very well thought out. Everything was spotless.
As we drove through the town of Roebuck we were a bit skeptical, as that was dreadful.
 It is amazing what another 30 ks can do.
That afternoon The others arrived. They were going to stay at a free camp on their way, but couldn't`t find shade, so decided to travel on.
We are now together again.
Whilst at Port Sampson we did quite allot.
We swam, cleaned our van of  80 mile beach red  dust, that took 3days .It was in every nook and cranny.
Sandy has had a cold sore on her lip, that she has not been able to get rid of , and I needed a script so we both went to Wickham to the doctors, a lovely young lady Doctor from South Africa
Everywhere we go, we keep running into people that we have met along the way in one park or another.
All these people are so friendly and share the places they have seen and the best and cheapest places to stay.
Sarah and Matt are one of those couples.They have  had some bad luck since we saw them last, Their camper van that wouldn`t wind up they have left  it in Port Headland were we got ours repaired.
That wasn`t a good idea as they wrecked their van after a week of stuffing them around.
So they went and picked it up. Still wrecked even worse than when  it went in.
 Grease all over the inside cushions, also the bars bent. The poor devils were so upset. So now the have hot tailed it to Exmouth, to try and see as much as possible, before getting to Geralton to a Jayco dealer.
We all went on a day trip to Karatha, Dampier, Hearsons Cove, Where we all had a wonderful day.
We saw the off shore Gas works, This is incredible it is so huge, any one that is travelling in this area should take the time to see what is happening over this side of the country. It truly opens your eyes.
We saw the Salt pans for the salt mines. We had lunch at the most beautiful beach called Hearsons Cove. There is no sand all small shells.
I recommended to Matt and Sarah to go and see it. Matt went swimming. Stephen found out,
 that two days before the beach had been closed as there were 2 large tiger sharks there. So all day we were waiting for them to return to the park. They were a little late. That was the day they drove back to Port Headland to pick up their van that wasn`t fixed. We were all so glad just to see them.
The boys went to a couple of places to fish but to no avail.
We did lots of swimming and just relaxing
The morning we were leaving Stephen arose to a flat tyre, so that held us up for a while as they didn`t know how to remove the spare. So how many Grey Nomads dose it take to change a flat tyre???????
