Kicking up our heels in Karratha



Sunday 11th May 2008



It is Mother’s Day today but breakfast in bed was pretty much out of the question given our current situation but I did get chocolates and at least ten minutes to myself to read!



The plan was to do a quick shop and head out to Point Samson to have a look around, but the Centro shopping centre in Karratha had a Coles, a Woolworths, a K-Mart and a Target Country as well as a book shop so we didn’t get out of there so quickly after all. It appears that there are a lot of girls aged between 5 and 12 in Karratha because there are no bathers (or even many clothes or shoes) in those sizes!

Once we’d unloaded our shopping the girls were not interested in heading out and just wanted to laze by the pool. So we did.

As it turns out it was probably for the best because we made the 40 minute drive to Point Samson later in the day and there really isn’t much there. We checked out Honeymoon Cove where the girls did yet more rock climbing on the amazing rocks with wavy lines through them. Then we had some pretty tasty fish and chips at Moby’s Cafe (not quite as fancy as the brochures like to make out) which saved me from having to cook on Mother’s Day
