Port Smith. W.A.

Today is very hot 42deg
As we were driving in on the dirt road, we could see bush fires in the distance. Apparently the caretakers were a little worried as when we booked into the park a chopper pilot was in the shop and they were talking about them.
We arrived at Port Smith, no grass just red dirt. We were not right on the water like Roebuck, so Tez was ready to turn back.
After setting up we went touring around so we could see what was to offer. There was one house ,used to be a bird sanctuary. Sandy was talking to the lady who lived there when we were on our way fishing .
We drove10ks out to the cliffs beautiful, When we returned they told us you shouldn`t go out there because of the fires, Didn`t tell us that before. Couldn't`t swim or fish but very pretty.
Then approx 600 mtrs down the road we could swim at high tide, and that we did
The next morning at 5am low tide, we drove over the beach had breaky and went fishing,
All caught fish, But Tez was the only one we could keep, so we had it for tea that night, a snub nose dart, 12lbs. Not a bad fish,
The Park itself was very clean but not allot to offer. only stayed two days.
We got in contact with Cas and Stephen and said go straight to 80 mile beach instead of comming in to Port Smith.
In the morning when we got up ready to leave, there was ashes all over our cars. During the night you could smell the smoke, no one come to say anyting till we were leaving, then they said, watch the fires on the way out, as they are on both sides of the road, so if you take it easy should be o.k. If not turn around and come back, GREAT....
As we drove out there was a very large area that had burned out.
So on our way to 80mile beach.
