Exmouth to Dampier in Western Australia

  Exmouth in Western Australia to Dampier


After Booking into the Ningaloo Caravan park for just 2 nights. 
We went for a ride around town. Witch is very small. But over on the sea front.
they are very busy building. Houses and Mariana .  



They are also making Canals 



The houses are all build with steal frames.
and all the walls are steel corrugation. 


After this we went for a ride to the end of the Island.
Were we had a look at a Turtle Center 



When the Turtles come to lay there eggs they keep watch on them.


After the babies are borne they help them make it to the sea. 


After we went up the hill to see the Lighthouse.
with a lovely look out.



Pat took some good photos.
The photo below has some sand bags that are still there from w.w.2.



A few photos taken from the top of lighthouse hill.  .




gong down hill was a great view. 



Pat taking some photos of SS. Mildura witch is laying as a wreck.     



While standing there we could see this little head keep popping up.
So Pat to a few quick photos. 
So we saw there were 2 turtles there having a good feed.

After leaving Exmouth 
Our next stop was a small caravan park at.
Harding River were Pat has found a little dog to make a fuss of. 


Some one that was staying in the park left the little dog behind.
So the owners have him now as there own.


Our camp site.  


Next to us was a very big 5th wheeler the owner came over to have a talk.
 He so did look like farther Christmas. 
With his red shorts black and bight green socks.
With a long grey beard.
  

He was a Dutchman that has been on the road with his wife for 4 yeast.
Going all over Australia.
He go's home at Christmas time to his house on the Sydney Harbor front.

We resided to go see Dampier after driving through Karratha 


Had a stay to one side of the road to let a wide load through.


This is a road going in to Dampier with salt lake each side of the train track.
But the length of the train wow. So long    



They are making Lovely park lands down by the sea.




Lovely drive along the beach road.



Further down the road you can see all the large Iron Ore ships.
Witch is dug up from the.
Pilbara Region of Western  Australia .


It is one of the major exports of Iron Ore with a total of .
100 Million Tonnes being sent overseas per year.
