Cape Keraudren

More red dusty roads to get to this little gem.    No water or power here so had to be self sufficient.   We found a beautiful spot to camp on a small piece of headland overlooking a magnificent Bay.    The water was a beautiful torquoise colour and the tides were about 6 metres which meant the water rushed out for miles on low tide and came gushing back in at high tide. 


Here we are perched on top of the cliff overlooking the Bay






Our view from our camp was quite spectacular... the photo doesn't quite show the true torquoise colour but a great place to spend 3-4 nights (excuse Tony's socks airing in the photo!)

Talbot Bay completely empties of water at low tide - Tony fished the other side of the large mass of rock you can see on the horizon but had to watch the tide as it comes back in very quickly....... it was quite a walk out there & "no fish"                                      Tony left it 15 mins too late one morning and had to slush through deep water & soft sand to get back. Our back neighbours thought they were in for a carton of beer  (they thought he might need rescuing with their small dinghy!!!!)

Tony is still trying to catch a fish.  This fishing spot was right in front of our camp.  He was told by one of the regulars you could catch fish on a little sandy spot right in front of the rocks...... no fish still!

This little kangaroo was a regular at our camp with a little Joey in her pouch.... we were warned not to leave our caravan door open as she would get inside the van.   They had to get rid of one other large kangaroo earlier as it destroyed the inside of a caravan!  We were also told there were bulls that regularly walked through the camp - we did see a few likely bull "droppings" (for want of a better word) near our van, but lucky we didn't see them until we were leaving.......

Tony is happy here with his camp fire & the Didjeridoo is now sounding much better.   No more strange noises from our camp.  

This photo says it all "not much more you could want in a camp spot"   -   except fish I suppose!    The rock mass you can see in the distance is where Tony fished during low tide!

 I mentioned before there was no power or water, but Tony is leaning on the only street light for miles....   this was erected by Bruce & Heather (they have been at Cape Keraudren since Easter and been coming for 25 years)      Everyone meets under the street light for Happy Hour & it is where they cook their camp fire meals.   They take turns in using their generators to keep the street light on during happy hours!

We did love this spot and could have stayed a lot longer... perhaps if Tony had caught some fish we could have.... we were starting to run out of vegies, fruit & meat as we hadn't food shopped since Broome, so had to move on!
