We left Derby and travelled to Barn Hill Station where we caught up with Jim & Gail. This station has a large ocean frontage which they have turned part of it into a caravan & camping ground albeit primitive which adds to the charm. After setting up and having lunch we decided to have a swim, it was refreshing but unfortunately there were things in the water that were biting (not very nice). We had a walk along the beach to investigate the rock formations, they looked like crumbling castles from a distance, as the tide was going out the beach was covered with red jellyfish.
the rocks look like they were carved, this could easilly be an eagle
the remains of an old castle
this could be an ancient pirate ship with a flag on the top mast
how many faces can you see in this one, it's a bit like Mt Rushmore in America
this rock was about 1 metre square and in high tide is under waterwhich has eroded some really nice patterns on it, it would make a great garden sculpture
The colours were amazing in the sunset @ Barn Hill station

and she's not interested
We took another 2 days to arrive at Indee Station which is where Lois & Graham spent 3 months helping out on the station when they travelled a few years back.
Colin & Betty are great hosts, very friendly. There is not a lot at Indee Station but they do have Red Rock Pools and aboriginal engravings which were great to see.
This is all around the homestead, they have dongas which are accomodation blocks, sheds and lots of vehicles (working and not)
These are whats left of the dongas they had after the cyclone in 2007 that hit Indee with one fatality
We had to walk up this hill the other day to finish an important phone call as signal drops out about 7.15 am and doesn't return until after 9.00pm. It was worth the walk up as the view was spectacular.
this chair is about half way up the hill
we made it

This is how they dry off
This is the second time I have tried to do this weeks blog, after spending 2 hours putting it together in
Port Headland yesterday (Wednesday) the contrary system didn't post or save it so I had to start again today, it's 10.00 pm and I've only had internet signal for the last 1/2 hour so I hope this goes through.
Itlooks like we may be here 'til the end of October as Betty is having trouble getting someone to help out so we've decided to stay on and save some money.
That's all for tonight as I'm getting tired so until we talk again stay well.
