Barn Hill Outstation 28-30 September

Packed up and skedaddled out of Kooljaman nice and early and headed back down the oh so special road towards the Great Northern Highway and points south and west. The plan was to stop either at the Roebuck Plains Roadhouse, or a freebie wayside stop for the night and head on to 80 Mile Beach the next day. This all went out the window when Hazel spotted a note on the sat nav map about Barn Hill Outstation which has camping facilities. We decided to give this a go and turned off the highway onto the 10k dirt driveway. Well, our jaws dropped when we finally arrived. Expecting a barren paddock and a pit toilet, we were presented with a very picturesque little campground with lots of shade, drinking water, and fully plumbed facilities (including showers), all of which is situated a very short walk from yet more pristine beaches and red red cliff faces. So nice we decided to stay an extra night and recharge everything (especially us) after Cape Leveque. Heaven on a stick.

Prado Spotto reached a signifigant milestone as we reached the Barn Hill turn off. Yep, we are into a new century - Len 208, Hazel 204.








Only birds were flying on this beach. Couldn't get the damn Aldi kite to work :-(

Another fantastic sunset. There seems to be one of these every night!
