Happy Birthday Geoff
We left Karijini this morning at 8.00. It was cold last night, down to about 4 degrees again. It was Geoff’s birthday today so there was much excitement. We drove out to Peawah River camp area and camped there the night with about 15 other vans and cars. Unfortunately there was no water in the river which seems to be the case for most of the rivers around here. The weather was windy but not as cold, even though I still wore long pants, socks and a jumper to bed.
That night we celebrated Geoff’s birthday with a carrot cake made by Lorelle in their oven.

Go the maroons!!!
We left Peawah R. this morning at 8.00 and drove to Point Samson. It is a lovely little seaside village near Karratha.
We looked around Point Samson and had tea at the local Tavern. Unfortunately the football wasn’t on until 8.30 so we went back to our vans and watched it there. What a shame! The third game will be fantastic.

Happy Birthday Sue (me)
We had a wonderful day today. I was awoken at 6.00 this morning with a text from my son, Dan, but it was lovely. All of my children rang throughout the day so I was extremely happy. I do miss the family and it is always great to hear from them.
Then we went to Roebourne where the Visitor’s Centre is built in the old gaol. It was interesting too.
Doug cooked tea and cleaned up so it was a great day.
