We had a great camp spot, tucked in the corner, grassed site, on the top level over looking the beach. The first night we arrived we cooked our tea on the camp fire to a live band playing across the corner from our camp! What more could we ask for & yes, another washing day.....
This is Samson's Tavern the only place to eat in town. Tony & I went over for Tight Ass Wednesday, 1/2 price T-Bone night & somehow I managed a free glass of wine (1 too many I might add!) The upper level was a buzz with lots of people... they are rennovating below so there should be some competition next year between the two. In this town there were no bakeries, cafe's or other shops apart from the General Store (which was the office to the Caravan Park) Even the local Seafood shop on the wharf has closed so we couldn't even buy fish!
Tony thought he could boss me around from the Judges quarters....wrong ! We are here in Cossack which is a historial town with a lot of interesting history. He also tried fishing in this town on the last day here, but only got eaten by mozzie's!!!
I am standing here with "Red Dog". He is a legend in the Pilbara & a movie was released Australia wide while we were up here. He was very well known by everyone & would only stay with people for 1-2 weeks and then move on. If he was in trouble everyone would rally & help him. He even had a place on the local bus until the bus driver was killed in an accident & the story went on to say he was always looking for the bus driver. He would pick & choose where he would stay & who would best look after him. A short story has been released on his journey through the Pilbara which I am reading at the moment.
We are heading off in the morning early (yes we have to set an alarm) to Karajini National Park so will have no service or internet, power or water for 4 nights.... I will try and blog again from Exmouth.
