Barn Hill Station

We didn't get very far from Broome, only about 100km south, before we stopped again. This time at a place called Barn Hill Station. After being in Broome for so long it seemed a bit basic, back to camping again! You could only use a small amount of power so no air-con etc. Luckily although it was about 38 degrees inland, it was cooler on the coast so it didn't really matter. The kids loved it as there were loads of green frogs and enormous stick insects everywhere. They managed to catch a frog each and keep them for a couple of hours before letting them go again. They climbed plenty of trees and played on the beach.






This is a picture of the rock formations they call their version of the Pinnacles.











More red dirt. Apparently by the time you get to Kalbarri the red dirt disappears. It won't be missed!

Everything has been going really well for us. The kids are having the best time of their lives, they have made so many new friends. We are travelling with another family again, this time with 3 girls so that provides a bit of a contrast. Michael and I are having a great time too. Everyone is totally settled into it now. It is coming up to 3 months that we have been away. Hard to believe! We do not want to come home yet but it will be interesting to see how we feel towards the end of the trip. Bet we still won't want to come home! We miss all the people but I know I could quite happily fly home for a week or so, see everyone, then come back. We are seeing the most amazing things all the time. Life in Melbourne seems very different. Don't think I could be on the road full time but we would like to do more trips like this if we can. We have to get to Cape York next!
