I should have figured it all out when we parked right…at the back…of the caravan park. Complete with it’s own bowling green. We unpacked everything and headed straight up to the shops for food and put the cruiser through a car wash. There was a bowl's tournament going on right outside our door. Old folks in their whites having a great time. Even had over the loudspeaker that you can join the boot scootin’ in the hall, or gentle gym. All of these geared around the 70 + yr olds. And this place was PACKED with them.
And then the rains settled in for the night and the rest of the day. We went for a drive around town to see what it had to offer. Not much. There were storm warnings out, so even the fishing fleet was grounded.
We wandered around the marina for a few minutes, but with the weather so bad, we headed back to the caravan to settle in for the day.
Today, we basically cleaned up, partially packed up, and took a trip down to the jetty and lighthouse museum.
The weather was still gusty, but at least the rains had stopped. We wandered around the lighthouse keeper’s house and through the sheds. And there was a small train trip up the jetty which goes over the mangroves.
After the rains, the water was very dirty at the mouth of the river.
But the local birdlife didn’t seem to mind it all.
Well, we’re packed now and ready for an early start in the morning. We’re headed to Bullara Station, which was recommended by the last caretakers of the last station we stayed at. From there we’ll explore Exmouth and the peninsula. i believe more camping and fishing are in order.
