Week 4 on the way to Exmouth

The camp kitchen and amenities block at Monkey Mia. Settling in for another windy night

The last three days of the Tagalong were full of contrasts. From the beautiful resort but windy conditions experienced at Monkey Mia to free camping on the sandy river bed at Wooramel Station. They arranged an entertainer for that evening for a sing a long while they cooked damper for supper. Loved spending time in the warm artesian pools.

No, I wasn’t directly under a branch.
Some silly women swimming in the dry river bed (I was almost ahead too…).

Next day we had a long drive to Bullara Station, also a working cattle property. Very different from the previous property. They put on a meal for us on the second night.

More damper and a history of Bullara Station from an ex-English policeman.
Just missed the sunset, almost got to perfect vantage point but had to return to camp in the dark!!.
Scones and cream on the verandah of Bullara Homestead.
The owners were leaving for Perth for an award night, they had been shortlisted for a tourism award.
The bottle tree. A seasonal occurence, they are all removed before the cyclone season.

We left on the Friday morning for an easy 100ks into Exmouth, the end of our tagalong journey. Just over 6000ks.

RAC Exmouth CP or Roller headquarters for this week as we’ve booked it out.

A total of 263 members have gathered here for the week. The whole town is aware and were expecting the invasion. Good for their economy as we  have extended it an extra week being on the tail end of the tourist season.

Retired in April 2017 after a long career in cardiac nursing which I loved, I find my life has totally changed. After almost loosing my husband last August to a dissecting aortic aneurysm complicated by a massive watershed stroke post cardiothoracic surgery, we are adapting to a very different life together. This is our now story. Update, November 2025. Chris continued to do well until he had a stroke in August 2018. This time after 2 weeks on life support with no sign of improvement he passed away peacefully with the family present. RIP Chris, much loved and missed.
