We travelled north and south of the 80 Mile Beach Caravan Park and when we stopped to explore, we felt like the only one on the beach.  There were also lots of beautiful shells to collect.

Welcome back from Holidays Everyone

I miss you all, and look forward to joining you in the last week or two in Kindy's term three.

Limited access

80 Mile Beach does not have internet or phone access, so we contacted people via the phone booth, using a phone card.

Quobba Homestead

We spent the last four days at Quobba Station which is 80km north west of Carnarvon and runs parallel to the Indian Ocean and Lake McLeod.  The station is approximately 187,000 acres.  The shearing quarters were used for shearers accommodation until 2005 when Quobba Station changed from merino sheep that grow wool to demaras that are hairy and therefore don't require shearing.
