DAY 149 - 16/07/2010 - West Peawah River, WA & Karratha, WA

Lilly and I woke up very early and we both enjoy watching the sunrise from my bedroom screen.





We finally and very slowly all get out of bed. We have breakfast and start packing up. Lots of vans have driven out already and have turned right onto the highway heading towards Karratha which puts pressure on us to hurry up. Its still school holidays, accommodation is scarce and we have no bookings. Its just one big race and the grey nomads are an organised bunch.

We drove straight to Point Samson but there were no available sites until Thursday which was no good for us.

No choice but to drive straight into Karratha with the hope of finding accommodation. We stop in at the visitor centre and they informed us that the only park that has vacancy's and only 2 sites left is the Balmoral Holiday Park and that they have already sent 1 van there. We take off quick sticks and head straight to the Balmoral and we managed to snag 4 nights.

We are so impressed with this park. All the sites have double slabs and plenty of room between vans. We are not squashed in like sardines for a change. The abolition block is brand new and very very clean. We've seen some shockers in the past. Really happy we came here.

Once settled we drove into town for a wander thru the shops and to top up on groceries and wine.
